Recommendations and Comments

KYTC CO Design	1205 Corinne Willmerdinger Agency	N Disapprove	KYTC, through a memo released on June 26th, 2023 [Design Memorandum No. 2-23], shall continue the utilization of the current 9T-Wall, as illustrated in KYTC's Standard Drawing titled "Concrete Barrier Wall Type 9T (Temporary)". Use shall not be terminated until another memo released fully ends the allowable use of the current 9T-wall. Subsequently, the 9T-Wall will continue to be allowed for use for a 2-year transitional period. Policy on the use of the current 9T wall remains due to the acceptance of the wall's weight of the current wall's ability to be rehabilitated. It is important to also note that the holes in our pavement/bridges are undesirable for anchoring systems. Furthermore, there is currently another non-propriety concrete wall being developed that is MASH compliant that we will be utilizing in place of the 9T.	Feb 19, 2025	3437
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet	885 Dorian Brawner Agency	Y Approve	Product appears to meet requirements for temporary barrier. Recommend receiving acceptance from Design for confirmation.	Jul 29, 2024	3363
