A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The State of West Virginia is presently engaged in a large-scale program of new highway construction and improvements to older highways. This program includes the construction of many new bridges and widening of many older ones. At the present time there are no guidelines regarding the optimum width for these structures. If all new bridges are constructed with a full shoulder and older structures are widened to include a full shoulder, and if this full shoulder is not required from a safety or traffic operations standpoint, an unnecessary financial burden will have been placed on the State of West Virginia. The objective of the research is to determine the traffic and safety advantages, if any, to be derived from carrying full shoulder widths across long bridge structures.
