Emergency works events are managed across two distinct phases.

This can include clean up and temporary works to maintain community links and to maintain the safe operation of the highway and may require a reduced operating capacity such as single lane operations, controlled convoys and reduced opening times.
The recovery phase describes the work required to return the asset to the agreed level of service for the affected roads. For smaller or low impact emergency works events, a recovery phase may not be required, that is, once clean-up has been completed there may be no reinstatement or additional work required.
