On October 11, floating supports with a road arch left the Kerch technological site and moved to the fairway of the Kerch-Yenikalsky Canal. This is reported by the Crimean Bridge Information Center.;
The road arch is one of the largest elements of the Crimean Bridge. It weighs about 5.5 thousand tons. Its length is 227 meters, and its height to the highest point is 45 meters. The planned route of the floating system is about five kilometers.
After the floating system reaches the fairway, it will be fixed between two supports and the main stage of the marine operation - lifting the arch - will begin.
Operations to install such large-scale structures as the arch of the Crimean Bridge in the offshore waters have not previously occurred in the practice of Russian bridge construction.
