In the Ostrogozhsky district near Voronezh opened a new bridge for 78.6 million rubles

For many years, the way to the district center through the ravine was a serious test for local residents and employees of enterprises located in the Krinichensky rural settlement. The former bridge had a wooden base and was erected in the middle of the XX century – over time, it ceased to cope with the increased flow of transport. Truck drivers had to use the detour. During the floods, the crossing was flooded. To solve the problem, a temporary bypass road was first laid, and now the capital bridge was opened.

According to Deputy Minister of Road Activities of the Voronezh region Alexander Dudin, new technologies were used in the construction. An ordinary bridge requires constant care: you need to clean the deformation seams, change the rubber support parts - there are no such measures. The warranty is officially given for 8 years, but in fact the structure can be operated for 80 years without requiring human intervention. The galvanized coating of the metal pipe under the bridge will remain reliable for at least 50 years, and the metal itself will last another 30 years longer. If you ever need repairs, it will be enough to update the inner frame and re-fill the concrete.

Another advantage of the design is the ability in the cold to clean the roadway from naledi with a sand salt mixture. This is not acceptable on old bridges. Salt accelerates the corrosion of reinforcements and leads to the destruction of concrete, and the sand leaves scratches on the coating and clogs the drains.

Next year, three more similar projects are planned to be implemented in the Voronezh region. The Ostrog facility became a pilot.

Earlier it was reported that at the station Rossosh in the Voronezh region from 1 to 30 November is repairing a pedestrian bridge. Workers will update the railing on spans and stairs, as well as replace the covering of the structure and steps. The aisle is closed.
