(H10.0.2) Both methods may be used unless otherwise specified on Bridge Memorandum.
- Conventional forming or slip forming may shall be used. Saw cut joints may be used with conventional forming.
(H10.1) Exclude underlined part for single span bridges.
- Top of barrier shall be built parallel to grade with barrier joints (except at end bents) normal to grade.
(H10.2)
- All exposed edges of barrier shall have either a 1/2-inch radius or a 3/8-inch bevel, unless otherwise noted.

- Payment for all concrete and reinforcement, complete in place, will be considered completely covered by the contract unit price for Type A B C D H Barrier per linear foot.
(H10.4)
- Concrete in barrier shall be Class B-1.
(H10.5) Use for Type B, D or H barrier. Include “left” or ”right” and exclude “for each structure” when barriers on each side of the bridge are not the same type.

Below is additional guidance for using Note H10.7.1: |
Bridges with two-lane, two-way traffic shall have retroreflective sheeting on both sides of the delineators. For two-lane, one-way traffic, retroreflective sheeting may be on one side only unless crossroad or entranceway traffic is just beyond exit to bridge and wrong way driving is to be discouraged with retroreflective sheeting on both sides of the delineators, (white and red in this case). "Delineators on bridges with two-lane, two-way traffic shall have retroreflective sheeting on both sides" may be modified, as required. For Type A and C barriers, retroreflective sheeting should be used on both sides of the delineators where there is not more than four lanes divided. |
On bridges with more than two lanes, retroreflective sheeting is not required on both sides of the delineators. The perception of a narrowing roadway at the bridge is of lesser consequence in terms of requiring guidance devices and does not warrant retroreflective sheeting on both sides of the delineators. "Delineators on bridges with two-lane, two-way traffic shall have retroreflective sheeting on both sides" may be removed at the discretion of the design team. |
