A combination concrete parapet and metal railing was designed for performance level one of the 1989 Guide Specifications for Bridge Railings. Computed strength of the railing is 189 kips (80 kN) at 40 in (1.02 m) above the deck (sidewalk) or 91 kips (405 kN) at 27 in (686 mm) above the deck (sidewalk). The railing was tested to performance level two and acceptable results were obtained.
