Standard Roadway Construction - Traffic Control -Bridge Construction Details Booklet, 2001 Metric Units

BDC01D-4

March 25, 2002

Subject: Release of the Standard Roadway Construction - Traffic Control - Bridge Construction Details Booklet, 2001, in Metric Units.

The details in this 2001 Construction Details booklet in metric units are identical in content relative to technical information and numbering/sequencing to the English 2001 Standard Roadway Construction - Traffic Control - Bridge Construction Details Booklet issued under BDC00D-1, dated August 24, 2001. However, there is a difference between the 2001 metric and 2001 English booklets. The enhancement of the font and general presentation in the English version is not done in this metric version. Most of the details in the 2001 metric details are based on those in the 1996 metric details issued under BDC96D-001 dated October 25, 1996 and subsequent revisions.

The concept of having both booklets with identical technical information, sequencing and numbering minimizes the adaptation required by users that must familiarize themselves with both documents. This is also consistent with the Department’s current practice to have parallel documents for all standards in both English and metric units.
