In Kaliningrad completed the construction of 60-meter towers of the bridge across Pregol

In Kaliningrad completed the construction of the towers of the road bridge across Pregol. This was announced by the Governor of the Kaliningrad region Alexei Bezprozvennykh in his social networks.

The height of each tower is 60.5 meters. Inside them, the main elements of the lifting mechanism have already been installed - drums, pulleys and frames of counterweights. The total weight of the equipment reached 1660 tons.

The towers were built from more than 16 thousand cubic meters of concrete. Workers poured it in 14 stages. Inside the structures, stairs and lifts will also be placed to service the mechanisms.

This decision will be the first for Russia: previously lifting equipment of drawbridges was not placed inside reinforced concrete supports. The contractor is now building machine rooms at the bottom of the towers.
