    This document is a bridge design memorandum that provides an update to Section 17.6.1.5 of the South Carolina Department of Transportation Bridge Design Manual. It replaces item 2 of that section to specify that for bridges with vehicle speeds over 50 mph, a 32-inch concrete barrier must be placed between pedestrians and traffic, with a metal hand rail on top to reach the required 42-inch height, and a separate 42-inch pedestrian rail at the outside edge of the sidewalk, which must have a cross slope of no more than 2 percent.

    RE: Section 17.6.1.5 of the SCDOT Bridge Design Manual

    Item 2 of Section 17.6.1.5 of the SCDOT Bridge Design Manual shall be deleted and
    replaced with the following:
    2. V ≥ 50 mph. Place the 32-in concrete bridge barrier parapet between
    pedestrians and traffic; i.e., between the roadway portion of the
    bridge deck and the sidewalk. The 32-in concrete barrier must have a
    metal hand rail on top of the barrier to reach the required 42-in height
    for a pedestrian rail. A 42-in pedestrian rail is then used at the outside
    edge of the sidewalk. The sidewalk portion shall be detailed with a
    cross slope no greater than 2 percent as shown in Figure 12.6-7.
