 GENERAL PROCEDURES
Chapter 2 of this manual establishes the practices for the completion of the title sheet (front
sheet) for a plan assembly. This chapter includes all the required items to complete the title
sheet. Included is a checklist for completing preliminary plans (TS&L) and final plans (PS&E).

A typical project normally has a single title sheet. For major projects or long structures, however,
the title sheet may have to be extended to additional sheets to adequately show the appropriate
details. In all cases the first sheet shall contain all of the items detailed in this chapter.

The title sheet (front sheet) is a cell named FSHT and may be found in the [Link] library. It
is recommended that this sheet be generated by using the bsht program from the VDOT BRIDGE
MDL task bar. This ensures that the cell is placed at the proper location in the file and facilitates
the entering of information in the project block and title block. This program will also place initials
and the CADD no.

NOTE:
Due to various restrictions on placing files in this manual onto the Internet, portions of the
drawings shown do not necessarily reflect the correct line weights, line types, fonts, arrowheads,
etc. Wherever discrepancies occur, the written text shall take precedence over any of the drawn
views.

DETAILING CHECK LIST FOR TITLE SHEET
Items marked by an asterisk (‫ )٭‬are required for preliminary plans

1 *Elevation view is drawn as a developed section along C L / BL. Therefore, skewed

substructure units, wingwalls and parapets should not be shown. Sections of the abutments
and piers shall be taken 90° to the individual unit. For piers, a column will always be shown.
For relatively flat curved bridges, the developed section shall be projected down from the
plan view. In the case of a sharp curve, the developed section shall be taken along the CL / BL
shown on the plan view. For bridges with special architectural treatments, e.g. arches on
exterior, decorative railings etc., an elevation taken along the outside face of bridge will be
permitted.

2 ‫٭‬Title and scale. Drawings drawn to a scale other than those listed in File No. 01.04 shall be
indicated as Not to scale.

3 ‫٭‬For Virginia Abutments and conventional abutments without deck slab extension, label:
Beginning/End of bridge
Back of backwall
Beginning/End of bridge station

4 ‫٭‬For integral abutments and conventional abutments with deck slab extension, label:
Beginning/End of bridge
End of Slab/End of slab
Beginning/End of bridge station

5 ‫٭‬Dimension beginning to end of bridge. When multiple continuous units are used, the length
of each individual unit should also be shown.

6 ‫٭‬Label abutments and piers/bents. Print with all capitals and use subtitle lettering
symbology. Abutments will be designated by capital letters, e.g. ABUTMENT A. Piers/bents
will be designated by using consecutive numbers when more than one pier exists, e.g.,
PIER 1, BENT 1.

7 Label spans using lower case span designators, e.g., Span a, Span b.

8 Label bearing types (Fix., Exp.). Do not label full integral abutment locations.

9 ‫٭‬Label existing ground profile on CL / BL. If grade separation is existing, draw using phantom
line symbology; if part of the project, use object line symbology with a line weight of 3.

10 *Label existing and proposed underground/overhead utilities (if applicable).

11 ‫٭‬Dimension minimum vertical clearance (if applicable). The label should be shown at the
point of minimum vertical clearance on roadway pavement or railroad as projected from the
plan view. When there is a divided highway, CD road or ramp under the bridge, the vertical
clearance shall be given for each roadway (round down to nearest 1” increment).

12 ‫٭‬Label finished grade.

 General:

For Bridge Only projects, as defined on File No. 06.07-1, that do not have a road title sheet, a
location map must be provided on the bridge title sheet. This map is intended to locate the
project in relationship to an intersection of another road or City/Town limit. The instructions for
developing this location map are given in the following.

Instructions:

The location map can be produced by clipping and copying a portion of a county map and pasting
in the file for the title sheet. The following steps are provided to aid in the development of the
required location map.

1. Locate the desired county map on Document Manager.

a. In MicroStation V8, click on Falcon/DMS and go to DocMan.

b. Scroll down the field listing the PPMS numbers until you see county maps.

c. Click on the + which will show all the available county maps. Scroll down until you find
the county you need.

d. Click on the county you require. A list of .dgn file(s) will be displayed for the county
selected.

e. Highlight the desired .dgn file and open by right clicking on the highlighted file and then
clicking on “Open (View)” in the drop down.

f. When map opens, use the “Save as” command and save a copy on your hard drive (C:).

2. Access the copy of the map saved to your hard drive. Zoom in on the map and locate the
area you need for your location map. The line weights should be turned off.

a. Place a fence (Fence Mode: Clip) around the area required to show project location. Try
to make the clipped area as close as possible to a square area. You should limit the area
clipped since these county maps are full size.

b. Copy the fenced area to a location outside of the main map where you can modify the
information contained in the area you copied.

i. At this point you need to square up the clipped map. It will have to fit a 4” x 4”
square when the final reduction is done on the title sheet.

BRIDGE ONLY PROJECT SHEET 2 of 6
LOCATION MAP FILE NO. 02.06-2
 ii. Prior to copying the map to title sheet the line style of any road that shows up in a
style other than 0 needs to be changed to a line style of 0. Many of the roads will
show up in a line style used to designate an “All weather surface”. You will also
have to adjust the line weights; this can be done after map is placed on the title
sheet. On railroads, place crossbars overtop existing ones prior to changing the
line style to 0.

iii. Delete any bridge symbols shown on the clipped view. These will create
problems when you try to reduce the map if not removed.

iv. Delete all mileages shown on clipped view and the boxes around the route
numbers.

c. In order to make the map clear, the information contained on the map can be moved
and/or rotated using MicroStation commands. Any irrelevant information, shown on the
clipped portion, can be deleted from the map.

 d. In the event the project structure is over a stream, make sure the stream name is shown
clearly on the map. Many times the clipped area will not contain the stream name; in that
case, refer to the large map to find the name shown elsewhere and copy to the clipped
map. If the name is not shown anywhere on the large map, copy another stream name
and edit it to show the name required. Rotate the name to fit the location. In the event
the stream has more than one name, such as South Fork Big River, give the entire name,
not just Big River.

e
Use lettering/dimension
text symbology

SAMPLE CLIPPED PORTION AFTER CLEANUP

e. On some maps, there are symbols shown for Interstate Highway, U. S. Highway or VA.
Primary Highway. In most of these instances, the symbols are too large for the available
space in the final map. Therefore, these symbols and the associated route number can
be reduced in size to better fit your situation. The text style and size can be changed on
the final location map so it will match all other text on the title sheet.

f. Place a circle around the project location. If desired this can wait until map is placed on
the title sheet. See item number 6 on File No. 02.06-5.

3. Scale down the location map using an active scale of at least 0.025. This scale will generally
produce a figure on the title sheet of a size that can be re-scaled to fit the 4” x 4” square.

4. Create a cell of the scaled down map portion and place in a personal library. On the title
sheet, place the cell near the lower left corner of the sheet. The cell may have to be re-scaled
to fit within the 4” x 4” box.

FINAL VERSION OF LOCATION MAP

5. Once map is located on the title sheet and properly sized, place a north arrow utilizing cell
DIRSA located in the [Link] library. This cell should be used full sized. Above the
DIRSA cell, place an upper case “N”. The “N” shall be lettering/dimensioning symbology, but
with the weight changed to 6.

6. The “Project Location” must be shown on map using subtitle symbology. Place a rectangular
box around labeling and draw an extension line to the circle placed previously. If desired, the
circle can be placed in this step rather than before placing on title sheet.

7. When the location map is complete, locate it at the bottom of the title sheet as shown on the
following page. Label the map as “Location Map” and show as “Not to scale”.
