This paper gives an overview of night-time road construction activities. The objective is to give an idea on why road construction is conducted during night-time and its effects. This paper will include the criteria in determining whether to conduct road construction work at night-time or not. This paper will also look into details for implications that night-time construction will have on a project, namely in terms of safety, productivity, quality and welfare of workers.
