An aesthetic, see-through concrete bridge rail, Type 80, was built and tested in accordance with NCHRP Report 350. The Type 80 bridge rail is an 810 mm-tall, reinforced concrete barrier. The rail has 280 mm-high by 1620 mm-long gaps, 230 mm above the bridge deck surface. The barrier tested was 23 m-long and was constructed at the Caltrans Dynamic Test Facility in West Sacramento, California. A total of three crash tests were conducted under Report 350 test Level 4, one with a 820 kg car, one with a 2000 kg pickup truck and one with an 8000 kg single unit van truck. The results of all three tests were within the limits of the Report 350 guidelines.
