Inquiry #2: After reviewing plan page C-1 we some some issues. There does not seem to be a joint between lanes 1 & 2 (no tie bars).
1. Is it Caltrans intention to pour lanes 1&2 at the same time? If so, how do we accomplish this with lane closure chart G1 that specifies we must keep one lane open in each direction of travel?

In past WIM projects we pour one lane at a time and drill and bond in tie bars.
