Woodward Producing National Bridge Rail Guide; CD and Printed Version In Development

Washington, DC—Woodward Communications is producing the first portable guide of all crash-tested and approved bridge rails in the United States. The guide, in CD and print version, should be available this spring.

The bridge rail guide will provide bridge engineers with a comprehensive compendium of the approximately 200 different bridge rails in use across the country. It will contain photos, specifications, costs, contact information where each type is in use, and plan drawings.

Bridge rails are made of timber, steel, concrete and stone.

“Our goal is to gather all the facts and photos in one place, to help bridge engineers make better informed decisions,” John Boffa, president of Woodward Communications, said.

The project is a joint effort of the California Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.

The project is headed up by Cindy Ahlstrom, Director of Operations at Woodward Communications.
