Skew. The preferred angle of intersection between centerline of track and the centerline of bridge supports, transverse to the track, is 90 degrees. The minimum angle that will be allowed between the centerline of the track and the centerline of bridge supports, transverse to the track, is 75 degrees for a Concrete Superstructure and 60 degrees for a Steel Superstructure. Align bridge piers and abutments as required to comply with the above maximum skew limitations. Tie rods, diaphragms and approach slabs shall be designed per Section 6.8.10.1, 6.8.8.1 and 6.4, respectively. Where conditions preclude compliance with these skew requirements, the skew proposal will require special structural consideration and proof of adequacy.
