A -3% grade meets a +5% grade near an underpass. In order to maintain the minimum clearance allowed under the bridge and at the same time introduce a vertical transition curve in the grade line, it is necessary to use a curve that lies 200m on one side of the vertex of the straight grade and 100m on the other. The station of the beginning of the curve (200m) is 10+000 and its elevation is 228m.
