Pre-assembly of the Crimea Bridge’s railway arch span has been completed at the Kerch coast’s construction site. The 45 metres high arch span will afterwards be fitted with additional service elements and prepared for installation in its designed position, onto the support structures.
“The railway arch consists of more than 400 large elements … We have assembled them in less than a year. Overall weight of the arch span exceeds 5,800 t. We are just to complete works on fitting the arch with service elements, cover metal structures with anticorrosion paint and prepare for transportation and installation on the support structure,” explained Roman Novikov, head of FSI Uprdor “Taman”.
Arch spans are the largest parts of the Crimea Bridge (Kerch Strait Bridge). 227-metre long arch spans will be 35 metres above the sea to ensure the passage of vessels under the bridge.
