Wording of client's requuirement

Wording of client's requuirement

Wording of client's requuirement

(OP)
I have a statement of client requirement. However, the wording is not clear, especially “9 days later” and “2 days later” as shown below. What is the meaning of “later”???
-----------------------------------------------------------Total or partial closures of the railway and highway are restricted to the following:
Railway: total closure for a period of 9 days (22:00 Friday to 06:00 Mondays, 9 days later).
Highway: total closure only permitted during first 2 days of the railway closure (22:00 Friday to 06:00 Mondays, 2 days later).

RE: Wording of client's requuirement

Railway closed starting at 22:00 Friday, all day Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, Sun, and opening again at 06:00 Mon.  24 hour day, not calendar day.  Likewise the highway is closed 22:00 Friday, all day Sat, Sun, and opening again at 06:00 Mon.

The usage could have been better, but the intent is clear.
