  2. BRIDGE DESIGN GUIDELINES ( O.P. & U.P.) Design Parameters: • Future Plans of Railroad • Bridge Layout • Clearances – Horizontal & Vertical • Drainage – Railroad & Highway • Agreement - RoW Easement and C & M • Construction Schedule • Construction Sequence • Construction Inspection and Monitoring • Utilities on Proposed Bridge • Cost Sharing

  3. BRIDGE DESIGN GUIDELINES ( O.P. & U.P.) 1. Future Plans of Railroad • Rail Traffic • Number of Tracks • Service Roads • Signals • Transload / Intramodal / Switching Yards Expansion • Business Expansion • Track Raises

  4. BRIDGE DESIGN GUIDELINES ( O.P. & U.P.) 2. Bridge Layout • Piers • Foundations • Roadway Embankments • Location of Future Railroad Structures like future tracks, signal equipment, drainage, service roads, etc.
