    The span is 12'. The reason for this is that I am very suspicious of the supplier. The design calls for 2-16"wide x60long" grated areas (1 in each lane) to drain directly through the top of the culvert to the waterway below. The supplier showed me a sample grate that was only 3/4" thick and...

The "traffic rated" part has me concerned. I have looked at many manufacturers of grating and all will supply me a grate that...
