That's how it should have been designed. But some project manager when building this project to reduce cost probably suggested to put the pipe just outside of the required allowance reducing welding and pipe cost by 20%.
Anyway it's a question that the PE/PMs should have an answer to if asked so the issue should get put to bed quickly. The z662 requirements though are missed more often then you think because of people designing the crossing for anticipated loads rather than designing to code.
