The construction of supports for the railway part of the Crimean Bridge has been completed
Builders have completed work on the construction of supports for the railway part of the Crimean Bridge. 307 structures are ready, which are now gradually taking over the spans - 160 thousand tons of metal structures, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported on the official website of the Crimean Bridge.
“Thousands of piles for these supports are driven to great depths: in some areas - more than 100 meters. Difficult soil and frequent storms greatly complicated the work, but everything was done efficiently and on time,” said Arkady Rotenberg, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Stroygazmontazh.
The main stage of construction of the railway part of the Crimean Bridge today is the installation of spans. At 8 construction sites, more than 15 kilometers of the route have already been blocked by spans. On the finished spans, successively from the side of the Taman coast, the upper structure of the railway track is formed: at the moment, more than 9 out of 38 km of rail and sleeper grating have been laid.
Completion of the installation of spans on land and at sea is planned for the first quarter of 2019. In the fall of next year, the construction of the upper track structure on the bridge will be completed. Rail traffic will open in December 2019.
