TIME CONTINUOS MODERNIZATION OF THE HIGWAY - PROS AND CONS.

The section of highway between Prague and Brno represents the oldest and the busiest part of the highway network in the Czech Republic. The current technical state requires renovation and modernization. The total length of 201 km is divided into 21 sections. Works on all sections are gradually planned, introduced and implemented. Highway works are carried out with a few exceptions in full traffic but with lower speed limits, a limited number and width of lanes. Time work is organized in a one-shift operation, seven days a week with a three-month break during winter period. The reconstruction time is scheduled for 5 years. This paper deals with the possibility of continuous work through the day and night. The new organisation of work has resulted in changes in the requirements for use of resources. This paper states subsequent modification of dates, costs and risk to one selected section of highway and presents pros and cons of continuous work. Based on these findings, the general recommendations are formulated in the conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
