Question: Vertical Alignment During the 1 5 0 0 ft stretch of straight road between the two horizontal curves, there is a significant change in elevation.

Vertical Alignment
During the 1500 ft stretch of straight road between the two horizontal curves, there is a significant change in elevation. It will be necessary to add a sag curve to the alignment at this location.
Given that the vertical curve will begin approximately \(\mathbf{100}\mathbf{~ f t ~ a f t e r ~ t h e ~ e n d ~ o f ~ t h e ~ f i r s t ~}\) horizontal curve (round up to the nearest station) at an elevation of 220 ft above mean sea level and the following from the excel file:
\[
\mathrm{g}_{1},\mathrm{~g}_{2},\mathrm{~L}
\]
Find:
Station of PVT
Elevation of PVT
Station of the minimum point on the curve
Elevation of the minimum point on the curve
Elevation of a point 700 ft along the vertical curve
Vertical Alignment During the 1 5 0 0 ft stretch
