BRIDGE OPERATION
WARNING
All bridge personnel must wear approved life jackets while
on the bridge. Failure to comply may result in injury or
death to personnel.
Exercise caution when walking near centerline of roadway;
the ponton alignment lugs project above the roadway surface
on interior bays and constitute a tripping hazard. Failure to
comply may result in injury to personnel.
