Yes. We discussed having a modified end that would close the angled gap and connect to (or abut) the existing bridge
rail (see attached sketch). The railing along the wall would hold its designed alignment (9” behind top of wall) up to the
bridge rail. Steve is going to coordinate with the manufacturer on the details…as I understand it.
John, please chime in if you had something different in mind.

Did you guys get a chance to discuss the safety fence/bridge rail at the bridge?

John,
The previous railing on the fishing pier had about a 1’ gap between each rail segment (see attached), with 4 links of
chain crossing the gap. I think a similar gap is needed in order to prevent a pinch hazard and/or damage to the rigid
portion of rail. The same chain and gap configuration should work well with the railing configuration we discussed
onsite, in which separate rigid segments would be installed on both sides of any hinged joint. Let me know if you need
further details on this item. Thanks
