The bridge being built in Novosibirsk under a concession agreement between the Government of the Novosibirsk Region and VIS Group will be one of the largest and unique infrastructure facilities in Siberia. The bridge design has a number of features, ranging from the bend of the channel part to the cable-stayed section, which allowed to raise the roadway above the existing flyover on the right bank and the park area on the embankment. Installation of a cable-stayed system with 70 cables is a complex technological process that began in early May with the pairwise tensioning of the shortest cables. During this time, 13 pairs (26 cables) have already been installed.
Today, the laying of asphalt of the lower layer of pavement on the bridge’s channel part between supports 6 and 13 from the right towards the left bank has begun. Previously, a waterproofing layer and poured asphalt was laid, ensuring the durability of the road surface and its resistance to temperature extremes. At the same time, the work on the top asphalt concrete pavement base layer at the right-bank transport interchange (the entrance to the bridge from the side of the Zyryanovsky overpass) continues. The asphalt concrete mix is supplied by VIS Group’s modular automated plant with a capacity of 240 tons per hour, which fully covers the needs of the construction site.
After the bridge is commissioned, Novosibirsk residents will have an alternative route between the parts of the city separated by the river. It will allow to get to Tolmachevo Airport faster, avoiding traffic congestion on existing bridges. The speed mode will be provided for by the absence of traffic lights. Meanwhile, the transport interchange on the left bank will make it possible to eliminate roundabouts at the Energetikov and Labor squares, ensuring the through movement of traffic flows on these busiest sections of the Novosibirsk road network.
