Highway crews inside the closure
Work on the Golden Glades ramps runs behind barrier wall with a maintenance-of-traffic plan governing every movement. A Golden Glades crew keeps its unit on the closed side against the barrier, where our driver reaches it from the work access rather than a live lane. We reposition Golden Glades units each week as the closure pattern shifts.
Night work is common at Golden Glades, so we service mid-morning and leave everything stocked for the crew that comes on after dark.
Park-and-ride, transit and the lot itself
The Golden Glades park-and-ride carries buses, commuters and periodic resurfacing that closes sections of the lot. A Golden Glades lot project takes units in the closed section on asphalt, clear of bus circulation and rider walkways. We coordinate Golden Glades deliveries around the morning and evening peaks so nothing is set down in a bus lane.
Contractor staging around the Golden Glades ramps is temporary by nature, with trailers and material moved every few weeks. We keep a Golden Glades unit beside the office trailer so it travels with the staging area, and a Golden Glades superintendent only has to tell the driver where the trailer went.
Yards, ramps and the drainage below
Truck and equipment yards sit tight against the Golden Glades ramps with limited room and heavy turning traffic. A Golden Glades yard placement goes against a fence or barrier outside the swing path of a loaded trailer. Drainage structures under the Golden Glades interchange back up in a heavy cell, so low ground is avoided entirely.
We strap Golden Glades units on exposed ground because wind funnels between the ramp structures during a summer storm.
