After the finishing machine passes over the surface, some additional
floating and finishing by hand may be required, particularly along the edges
of the placement. Texturing using a broom can also be seen in this photo.
State DOTs differ in their requirements for texturing of bridge decks --
some require brooming, some tining, and some require that the texture be
sawn into the concrete after hardening.
