Question:
Jacking and shoring is only required for Type I girder repairs. The jacking and shoring notes indicate there is no live load permitted in the area above the girders while they are jacked or shored. The Route 37 notes on drawing sheet No. 9 indicate that the repairs to Girders I, J and K shall be completed using overnight (9 pm to 5 am) lane closures as shown in traffic management detail 3. This traffic plan is necessary to remove the live load from above the girders but all 3 of the girder repairs specified for this set up is a Type II Repair which does not require jacking and shoring. Please confirm whether the no live load requirement applies to all the steel repair locations or just the Type I repairs requiring jacking and shoring. |

|
Answer:
The no live load requirement applies for all steel repair locations. Therefore, the traffic restriction for the repairs to Girder I, J, and K shall be implemented. |
