In keeping with TxDOT policy, all utilities should, when feasible, be located off . However, when it is impractical to install a utility facility across a stream or other obstruction, attachment to or inclusion in the highway bridge or structure may be considered. Requests for attachment or inclusion to highway bridges, structures, etc., should be coordinated with the District design section for securing bridge attachment agreements through the Bridge Division.

If betterment facilities proposed by the utility require the highway structure to be strengthened, the utility will bear the cost of such strengthening.
