Before Construction
Notify the People Who Live and Work There.
Approximately 24–48 hours or more before resurfacing, our team goes door-to-door notifying affected residents and businesses about the upcoming work.
Traffic Control
More Than Flagging.
Active Project Management.
Donelson Construction's certified traffic control professionals help manage safety, communication, pavement conditions, and public access throughout every PressurePave® project.

The People Managing Traffic Are Part of the Production Team.
Traffic control isn't treated as something happening around our paving operation. It is part of the operation.
Road resurfacing affects more than the pavement. Residents need to reach their homes. Businesses need customers to reach their doors. Commuters need to understand where they can safely travel.
Instead of relying solely on road closures, Donelson Construction places trained traffic control professionals throughout the work zone to actively manage those changing conditions.
They communicate with motorists and residents, coordinate with the production crew, monitor pavement conditions, and help restore normal traffic flow as sections of roadway become ready.
Before. During. After.
Traffic Management Starts Before the First Truck Arrives.
Our traffic control operation follows the project from resident notification through reopening the roadway.
During Construction
Manage Traffic Through the Work Zone.
Certified flaggers are positioned throughout the project to manage motorists, intersections, resident access, and changing construction conditions.
During Curing
Monitor the Pavement.
Our flaggers are trained to monitor the curing process and communicate pavement conditions back to the production crew throughout the project.
As Conditions Allow
Restore Access.
As intersections and sections of roadway become ready for traffic, our team works to return them to normal operation as soon as conditions permit.
Eyes throughout the project
Our Flaggers Help Monitor More Than Traffic.
PressurePave® projects can extend for miles, with pavement conditions changing continuously as the production crew advances.
Traffic control professionals positioned throughout the project are specifically trained to monitor the curing material and communicate what they are seeing back to the production crew.
That makes them another set of trained eyes in the field — observing pavement conditions while simultaneously managing traffic and public access.

Reopening as conditions allow
Why Close More Road Than Necessary?
Some resurfacing operations may require roads to remain closed for extended periods. PressurePave® is designed around a much faster return to traffic.
Under normal conditions, our material typically cures in approximately 30 minutes. Because trained traffic control personnel are distributed throughout the project, they can coordinate with the production team as individual intersections and roadway sections become available.
The goal isn't simply to control traffic until construction ends. It is to restore normal access as efficiently and safely as conditions allow.
Cure time varies with weather, pavement conditions, application, and other project-specific factors.
Communication in the field
Questions Don't Have to Become Complaints.
A person standing in the work zone can often answer a resident's question before that concern ever reaches the agency managing the project.
Motorists
Flaggers provide clear, direct guidance to people traveling through changing work-zone conditions.
Residents
People living along the project have someone nearby who can help explain access, timing, and current conditions.
Production Crew
Traffic personnel communicate field conditions back to the paving operation as the project progresses.
Project Owner
Better communication in the field can help reduce the number of questions and concerns directed back to the city or agency.

Communication before construction
Residents Know We're Coming Before We Arrive.
Before resurfacing begins, our traffic control team goes door-to-door notifying residents and businesses that work is scheduled for their street.
The notification explains what to expect, provides information about the anticipated project schedule, and reminds residents to plan accordingly — including removing vehicles from the street before construction begins.
Each notification can also connect residents directly to the project's CrewCast page through a QR code.

Field Communication Meets Real-Time Project Updates.
Our flaggers provide the human connection in the field. CrewCast extends that communication to residents' phones.
Residents can follow the project, view an interactive map, receive schedule and weather updates, and be notified when their roadway returns to normal operation.
CrewCast is integrated into our PressurePave® project communication process.

Traffic Control Is Built Into Every PressurePave® Project.
PressurePave® is more than the material placed on the road. Successful implementation requires coordination between production, traffic management, public communication, and the people responsible for the roadway.
Our professional flagging operation and CrewCast communication platform are incorporated into PressurePave® projects to help manage that entire experience.
