ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION:
• Effective Date: This Engineering Bulletin (EB) is effective beginning with projects submitted for
the letting of January 8, 2009.
• Superseded Issuances: None

PURPOSE: This Engineering Bulletin announces availability of the complete series of the U.S.
Customary versions of the Standard sheets.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
• The intention of this effort was to convert metric dimensions, notes, etc., into U.S. Customary
(U.S.C.) units; corrections which reflect inaccuracies, errors, omissions, and policy changes, were also
included. A summary of the corrections and changes that were accommodated is included in the
attachment “U.S.C. Standard Sheet Summary of Changes.” Guidance on 606 series changes will be
included in the revised HDM Chapter 10, which will go through clearance review within a few months.
• The U.S. Customary sheet numbering was changed. Standard sheets with multiple sheets (e.g. 1
of 2, and 2 of 2) get the same number. The Designer shall reference the standard sheet number (e.g.
604-02) to reference all the sheets (4 in the example) tied to the number. A revised sheet will be
differentiated from a previously issued sheet by the effective date indicated in the title block.
• To facilitate the transition a matrix is attached to correlate the U.S. Customary sheet with the
corresponding metric version.
• The NYSDOT Standard Sheets are available at: https://www.nysdot.gov/main/business-
center/engineering/cadd-info/drawings/standard-sheets-us

TRANSMITTED MATERIALS: There are two attachments included in this EB.

1. A spreadsheet showing the U.S. Customary sheet number and name with the corresponding
Metric sheet number.
2. A table listing the changes by sheet number.

CONTACT: Questions or comments regarding this issuance should be directed to Robert Lohse, Design
Quality Assurance Bureau at (518) 457-3528, rlohse@dot.state.ny.us.

misc. placement width and length has been changed.
sheets 2. The galvanization requirement for wire mesh
reinforcement has been removed.
606 1. Object markers were removed from guide rail end terminal assemblies at driveways and other
misc. vehicular openings. This change was issued on cable guide rail standard sheets in EB 06-043
sheets and is now applied to all guide rail.
2. An error in the ACI hook diameter in various concrete anchors has been corrected.
3. Removed references to rustic rail.
4. Changed “Mowing Strip” to “Vegetation Control Strip”.
5. Removed prohibition on placing rail between 1 and 10 feet from face of curb and replaced with
statement that such placement should be avoided.
6. Standardized bolt offsets from centerlines of posts.
a. 5/8 inch for S3x5.7 weak posts
b. 1-3/16 inch for W6x9 heavy posts.
7. Removed notes stating that central hole in W-Beam is optional for Weak Post system. Modified
G-2 requires the hole.
8. Removed note that square washer on back of W-beam might need to be threaded. (Vague
direction and not reasonable.)
9. Added standard splice hole arrangements to both ends of W-beam end pieces. (Permits
Maintenance to stock only two kinds of W-beam and allows end pieces to be made from
standard-stamped W-beam.)
10. Removed Wood Post option for Type III terminals.
11. At all locations where W-beam connects to Box beam, the W-beam is doubled to avoid tearing
the W-beam and/or impalement of a vehicle on the end of the box beam.

- Added Note 13 requiring one wire of

606-08 Revised first splice after anchor block so that doubled -
rails mate via terminal holes in valley of W-beam, while
last rail mates to the one it nests with via standard splice
bolts and holes.
606-09 1. Changed title “Typical Section for Corrugated -

2. Removed “2’-3” Min.” dimension from back of post to
shoulder break from above section.
3. Changed title “Typical Section for Corrugated
Blocked-out Guide Rail” to “Rail Height
Determination when Set Back from Curb”.
4. Revised note on extending vegetation control strip out
to fixed objects. To avoid the need to mow in
restricted spaces, the old note left it to EIC to decide
to extend if objects were within 12’ of posts. New
note requires extension when structure over 10’ in
length are within 6’ of posts.
