The conceptual design should include all foundations, piers, abutments, river protection works, bridge superstructure, walking surfaces, handrails, lighting and drainage systems, along with any other incidental items associated with the bridge structure.

-A drawing showing a cross section through the bridge structure, which is referenced on the general arrangement drawing, showing basic member sizes;
-A drawing showing an elevation view of any pier or tower structure incorporated into the design. The elevation shall be referenced on the general arrangement drawing and shall include dimensions of basic elements; and
