| 1626666414575845376 | IBR’s bridge design (LPA) has a traffic “Auxiliary Lane”. WSDOT Design Manual says because trucks will slow to 40 mph the bridge will need a “Truck Climbing Lane”, but not addressed by the IBR. Does the IBR want both? (10 lanes) @USDOTFHWA @VancouverUS @nomorefreeways @trimet https://t.co/QLsBt3RzJt | 3 |
