All Implementing units of the Department are hereby directed to adhere to the following
typical transition joints for the construction of road projects involving high type pavement
surfacing in order to provide stronger joint between concrete pavement and asphalt
pavement, to attain the highest quality of work, and to produce sound, durable and
economical structures:

A. Annex "1" Joining road with PCCP(At Road Intersection)
