Question:
SHEET 50 TEMPORARY UTILITY BRIDGE shows the bridge as 17' wide. Is there anything else on the bridge other than the 12" water line? Why so wide? Design is by the Contractor.
Answer:
The temporary utility bridge shall be designed and detailed by the contractor. Sheet 50 – Temporary Utility Bridge shows the area available for the temporary bridge and should not be taken as an indication of the size or type of bridge that can or should be used. The temporary bridge is intended to support the temporary water main during construction. The size of the area represents a maximum footprint for all temporary bridge components for planning and permitting purposes. The temporary bridge used is anticipated to be smaller than the maximum footprint shown, though the size is at the contractor’s discretion and per the contractor’s design.
