The roller beam closest to theexisting bridge must be positioned so that it does not touch the existing span. Also, the roller beam height should be kepthigh enough to prevent the launching nose, or far bank end of bridge, from coming into contact with the existing span.(1)Set up rear roller beam/front roller beam clear of the span to be bridged.(2)Assemble and launch bridge as though bridging a gap.b.Assembly Without a Launching Nose (2E + 3 through 2E + 12 bay double story)Without launching noses, an overbridge is built in place over the existing span. Ensure that the existing span iscapable of supporting the weight of the overbridge during construction, particularly if it is being constructed over a long, lowclass bridge.6-68
