A vertical curve has an incoming grade of +4.4% and an exit grade of -2.2%. The length of the curve is 450.00 ft. The intersection of the grades is at 10+00 and the elevation at that point is 440.00.

Compute the elevation of the +00 points on the curve. Then determine the location and elevation of the highest point on the curve. If there is an existing bridge at this location over the proposed road, and the elevation of its lowest point is 451.00 and the required clearance is a minimum of 14.0 ft, does this curve need to be re-designed, or will it fit the required parameter?

An existing equal-tangent sag vertical curve is designed for 60 mi/h. The initial grade is -3% and the elevation of the PVT is 754 ft. The PVC of the curve is at station 134 + 16 and the PVI is at 137 + 32. An overpass is being constructed directly above the PVI. The highway is for cars only (AASHTO minimum and recommended structure clearances do not apply) and the overpass design assumes the driver's eye height is set conservatively...
