Inquiry #9: In Addendum 2 Note 8 states to install the approach slabs and polyester overlays under temporary traffic control. The polyester overlay is easy to understand, but how is the approach slabs to be constructed when you have to dig them out, construct a new paving notch at the existing bridge, place the reinforcing steel, and then place concrete for the new approach slab in an approximate 8 hour window.
