Inquiry #2: The signs shown on the TH plans and RSP would be covered under traffic control, not construction area signs.
Those signs would be installed and removed with the closure per shift.

Construction signs are generally W20-1 & G20-2 installed at each end of the project, at each intersection, & ramps.
If these are not going to be required, then the construction area sign item should be deleted.
