Guide Bridge Special Provisions (GBSP)

GBSP's have been developed by IDOT's Bureau of Bridges and Structures in an effort to simplify the work involved in producing Special Provisions for items of work commonly associated with the design and construction of structures.

Special Instructions: The current GBSP's are available for download. Users can download individual or all files. To download an individual file to your hard drive click the link with the right mouse button, then choose "save target as." To view the file, click the link with the left mouse button.
