[quote user="tomikawaTT"]<p>If one of your bridges crosses a road, the local authorities might have specified (by passing a law) that ballasted deck construction would be required - on the theory that a passing train might shed small objects on the cars and pedestrians below. Or, as Mr Hadid mentioned, those local authorities might have paid for the grade separation and the bridge. In the latter case, the golden rule applies - he who spends the gold makes the rules.</p><p>Chuck (modeling Central Japan in September, 1964 - with both open and ballasted decks)</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I have never seen an AASHTO or state DOT or PUC recommendation or requirement for ballasted-deck bridges for the purpose cited. </p><p>S. Hadid </p>
