CHAPTER 11 BRIDGE LAYOUT
When slope protection is used, the berm shall be sloped away from and normal to the cap at a rate of 1⁄2 in/ft (50 mm/m). The proper berm width shall be used in determining the length of bridges.
2.1 Bridge Layout
This section describes the information required and the procedures for completing a bridge layout to determine the type, length, and general location of a given structure.
Structures Calculation Guide
Bridge excavation may be required for a project that includes a proposed bridge. This part will go into details of the calculations on how much earthwork will be required for the bridge excavation.
CH 2 Bridge Layout
It is recommended that the vertical curves extend beyond the bridge length, where possible, to minimize the design, drainage issues, and construction complexity of the bridge structure.
Bridge Design Guide
For the sloped overhang, the slope of the bottom face of the overhang may vary significantly when used with curved slab edges primarily because of the overhang distance varies along the length of the

Bridge cross slope is typically 0.02 for non-superelevated bridge deck sections. Bridges with one-way traffic have a uniform cross slope applied over all travel lanes and required shoulders. Bridges with
