Mr. Louis Ruzzi 

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. 

400 North St., 7th floor 

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120 

USA 

Dear Mr. Ruzzi: 

This letter is in response to your September 18, 2019 request for the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHW A) to review a roadside safety device, hardware, or system for eligibility for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program. This FHW A letter of eligibility is 

assigned FHWA control number B-333 and is valid until a subsequent letter is issued by FHW A 

that expressly references this device. 

Decision 

The following device is eligible within the length-of-need, with details provided in the form 

which is attached as an integral part of this letter: 

• PennDOT PA Type 1OM Bridge Barrier 

Scope of this Letter 

To be found eligible for Federal-aid funding, new roadside safety devices should meet the crash 

test and evaluation criteria contained in the American Association of State Highway and 

Transportation Officials'(AASHTO) Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH). 

However, the FHWA, the Department of Transportation, and the United States Government do 

not regulate the manufacture of roadside safety devices. Eligibility for reimbursement under the 

Federal-aid highway program does not establish approval, certification or endorsement of the 

device for any particular purpose or use. 

This letter is not a determination by the FHWA, the Department of Transportation, or the United 

States Government that a vehicle crash involving the device will result in any particular 

outcome, nor is it a guarantee of the in-service performance of this device. Proper 

manufacturing, installation, and maintenance are required in order for this device to function as 

tested. 

This finding of eligibility is limited to the crashworthiness of the system and does not cover other 

structural features, nor conformity with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. 
2 

Eligibility for Reimbursement 

Based solely on a review of crash test results and certifications submitted by the manufacturer, 

and the crash test laboratory, FHW A agrees that the device described herein meets the crash test 

and evaluation criteria of the AASHTO's MASH. Therefore, the device is eligible for 

reimbursement under the Federal-aid highway program if installed under the range of tested 

conditions. 

Name of system: PennDOT PA Type 1OM Bridge Barrier 

Type of system: Bridge Barrier 

Test Level: MASH Test Level 4 (TL4) 

Testing conducted by: Texas A&M Transportation Institute 

Date ofrequest: September 18, 2019 

FHW A concurs with the recommendation of the accredited crash testing laboratory on the 

attached form 

Full Description of the Eligible Device 

The device and supporting documentation, including reports of the crash tests or other testing 

done, videos of any crash testing, and/or drawings of the device, are described in the attached 

form. 

Notice 

This eligibility letter is issued for the subject device as tested. Modifications made to the device 

are not covered by this letter. Any modifications to this device should be submitted to the user 

(i.e., state DOT) as per their requirements. 

You are expected to supply potential users with sufficient information on design, installation and 

maintenance requirements to ensure proper performance. 

You are expected to certify to potential users that the hardware furnished has the same chemistry, 

mechanical properties, and geometry as that submitted for review, and that it will meet the test 

and evaluation criteria of AASHTO's MASH. 

Issuance of this letter does not convey property rights of any sort or any exclusive privilege. This 

letter is based on the premise that information and reports submitted by you are accurate and 

correct. We reserve the right to modify or revoke this letter if: (1) there are any inaccuracies in 

the information submitted in support of your request for this letter, (2) the qualification testing 

was flawed, (3) in-service performance or other information reveals safety problems, (4) the 

system is significantly different from the version that was crash tested, or (5) any other 

information indicates that the letter was issued in error or otherwise does not reflect full and 

complete information about the crash worthiness of the system. 
3 

Standard Provisions 

• To prevent misunderstanding by others, this letter of eligibility designated as FHWA 

control number B-333 shall not be reproduced except in full. This letter and the test 

documentation upon which it is based are public information. All such letters and 

documentation may be reviewed upon request. 

• This letter shall not be construed as authorization or consent by the FHW A to use, 

manufacture, or sell any patented system for which the applicant is not the patent holder. 

• This FHW A eligibility letter is not an expression of any Agency view, position, or 

determination of validity, scope, or ownership of any intellectual property rights to a 

specific device or design. Further, this letter does not impute any distribution or licensing 

rights to the requester. This FHW A eligibility letter determination is made based solely 

on the crash-testing information submitted by the requester. The FHW A reserves the 

right to review and revoke an earlier eligibility determination after receipt of subsequent 

information related to crash testing. 

Sincerely, 

Michael S. Griffith 

Director, Office of Safety Technologies

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 

Ir. New Hardware or 

Significant Modification 

r Modification to 

Existing Hardware 

The test installation for the Penn DOT PA Type 1OM Bridge Barrier was 149 ft -10 inches long, and consisted of a 

reinforced concrete deck and barrier, with steel rails supported by steel posts anchored to the top of the 

barrier. The deck was cantilevered 72 inches, with the field side of the 18-inch wide barrier flush with the field 

side of the deck. The barrier was 17 inches tall, and the heights to the top of the two steel rails, measured from 

the top of the deck, were 27.75 inches and 39 inches. There were 15 posts, spaced at 10 ft, beginning at 44 

inches from the downstream end. Post 1 was located 74 inches from the upstream end of the barrier and deck. 

There were three joints in the barrier: one between posts 3 and 4, the second between posts 6 and 7, and the 

third between posts 9 and 10. The joint between posts 3 and 4 was cast in both the barrier and deck. The 

other two joints were only in the barrier. Five sections of double steel tubular rail were installed on the posts. 

Their splices were located 20 inches (for the top rail) and 30 inches (for the bottom rail) upstream of the 

centerlines of posts 4, 7, 10, and 13. 

CRA H TESTI G 

By signature below, the Engineer affiliated with the testing laboratory, agrees in support of this submission that 

all of the critical and relevant crash tests for this device listed above were conducted to meet the MASH test 

criteria. The Engineer has determined that no other crash tests are necessary to determine the device meets 

the MASH criteria.

respectively. 

Occupant risk factors were within the 

allowable limits of MASH. Longitudinal OIV 

was 20.0 ft/s, and lateral OIV was 34.1 ft/s.
