This project involves the construction of a modern, single-span arch bridge designed to improve local connectivity. The structure serves as a replacement for the previous crossing, utilizing a high-visibility steel design to combine structural efficiency with a contemporary aesthetic.
Technical & Design Specifications
- Structural system: A classic tied-arch (bowstring) design, featuring twin structural steel arches finished in a signature signal blue.
- Support elements: Vertical tension hangers distribute the deck load evenly to the arches, allowing for a slim deck profile.
- Foundation & embankment: Heavy-duty stone riprap and reinforced concrete abutments have been installed to stabilize the riverbanks and protect against erosion.
- Surface treatment: The bridge deck is currently undergoing final preparation, including waterproofing layers and drainage integration prior to the final asphalt application.
Key Milestones Captured
- Structural assembly: The primary steel arches have been successfully positioned and secured.
- Infrastructure Integration: Alignment with the existing road network is complete.
- Site preparation: Transition from heavy machinery operations to final finishing works, including the installation of safety railings and pedestrian pathways.
Summary
This installation represents a significant upgrade to the local infrastructure, prioritizing long-term durability and architectural character. The following gallery provides a visual walkthrough of the site during the final weeks of the build.
