Inquiry #3: At the Ti Creek Bridge Location, the detail on page 79 of the plans for the Structure Excavation (Bridge) and Structure Backfill (Bridge) shows backfill all the way to the bottom of the soffit. Is this an accurate drawing, or is it Caltrans intention to not have the backfill go all the way to the bottom of the soffit. The detail is not clear regarding this.

On the same page 79 of the plans, the detail shows the piles being right at the abutment wall. How far away are they actually from the abutment wall? Please advise.
