FENCING NOTES

FENCE APPLICATION:
This bridge fence can only be used on sidewalk installations separated from traffic by a traffic railing.
FENCE INSTALLATION:
C:

Install posts plumb (within a tolerance of – 1b"). Use shim plates as required to achieve plumb. The required quantity
and thickness of shim plates will be determined in the field. Install chain link fence in accordance with ASTM F 567 as
applicable.
CONCRETE PARAPET DETAILS:
rd960rh

See Index No. 820 - Pedestrian/Bicycle Bullet Railing for Concrete Parapet details. Provide fencing in lieu of aluminum bullet
railing as shown on Index No. 820.
LIMITS OF FENCING:
Limits of fencing are from begin of approach slab at Begin Bridge to end of approach slab at End Bridge, unless otherwise
09 AM

shown in the plans.

PAYMENT:
