Superstructures

Bridge soffit

The two adjacent superstructures of the prestressed concrete bridge have the continuous beam in the longitudinal direction and are divided into four independent sections with three expansion joints . The construction height is constant 2.7 m. In the transverse direction, the superstructures are designed as two-cell box girder cross-sections. The prestressing consists of internal tendons in the longitudinal direction .

The spans for the 34-span bridge are 35.2 m, 3 × 45.0 m, 2 × 38.5 m, 8 × 45.0 m, 38.5 m, 36.2 m, 6 × 45.0 m, 2 × 38.5 m, 9 × 45.0 m and 37.5 m, which results in a total span of 1471.4 m.
