Proposal summary

A new standard for Buried Approach Slabs has been developed to be used on Integral and semi-integral bridges. Buried approach slabs have been successfully used in Ontario and other jurisdictions.

Proposal details

MTO has gained valuable experience over the years, and the new standard is expected to simplify and optimize both the design and construction processes. On many upcoming construction projects of bridges, this new standard has the potential to accelerate project delivery and improve overall performance.
