Causeway one.network, a leading digital work zone and road management platform provider today announced the Utah Department of Transportation has awarded a major, statewide contract to the company to provide its Live Link and Traffic Management software. The company created both solutions to simplify the process of closing traffic lanes while contributing to increased safety and improved efficiency for drivers and work zone crews alike. Through Live Link, a first-of-its-kind solution, authorized operators using an intuitive mobile app can seamlessly manage road and lane closures ensuring vital information is communicated to drivers, right from the work zone.

Paul Madeira, Causeway Technologies, Chief International Growth Officer, expects the deployment to have an immediate impact. “Communicating roadway disruptions quickly and efficiently is the most effective strategy to keeping people safe and maintaining traffic flow,” he said. “Utah DOT’s leadership team clearly understand that, and we’re excited to be part of their commitment to the residents and road users they serve.”

Live Link facilitates near real-time communication of road and lane closures, directly from the work zone to motorists through the most popular navigation apps, including Google Maps, Waze, TomTom, Apple Maps, as well as trucking applications and OEMs. By using Causeway one.network’s Traffic Management and Live Link modules, Utah DOT and its contractors will gain the ability to seamlessly plan, coordinate, and communicate any type of road event and associated traffic management plans, including detours and unplanned incidents, through a single, unified platform. At Causeway, improving Work Zone safety is a company-wide commitment. In 2023 alone, 899 people in the U.S. died and thousands more suffered life changing injuries as the result of work zone crashes.

The Utah DOT agreement represents the second statewide contract for Causeway one.network. The Florida Department of Transportation uses Live Link to power the agency’s Lane Closure Notification System (LCNS), which has posted over 50,000 work zone closures to date.

In the three years since Causeway one.network entered the U.S. market, the company has secured multiple long-term contracts from the East to West Coast. Specializing in work zone and road event management, permitting, and awareness. The company’s Live Link, Plan Share and Traffic Management solutions are in use throughout Florida, Texas, Southern Nevada, and California.

Madeira said, “I believe the widespread adoption of our solutions and our U.S. trajectory is validation of our platform, but also our safety and efficiency promise to American agencies, work zone employees and the driving public.”
