Compass

(direction approximate)

Bearing: 39 deg.

(Plan-view, No Scale)

ORIENTATION:

Components lateral to flow are counted from Left-to-Right; when viewed from Upstream, looking Downstream

… such as: Abutments, Piers, Floor-beams

Components in line with flow are counted from Upstream-to-Downstream; when following the flow direction

… such as: Girders, Abutment Posts, Pier Columns

See also Compass-rose for additional orientation; "N" positioned to approximate north orientation along Span in plan-view

… Compass-Bearing, if provided, shows approximate alignment sighting from CL-Abut1 to CL-Abut2
