Why are they always doing roadway work during the day and not at night?
There are several reasons. Traffic volumes during the day, especially between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. make it ideal for construction work. It is safer to work during the day. Asphalt and concrete suppliers usually do not make deliveries to construction work sites at night. Work is discouraged at night particularly in residential neighborhoods for quality of life reasons. When a travel lane must be closed 24-hours a day, crews are encouraged to work until sundown, but no later than 10 p.m. The contractor or responsible party must notify civic leagues prior to start of work.
