Kerch Bridge Builders Prepare to Install Arch Spans

In the third quarter of this year, bridge builders to Crimea will have to transport and install arched spans with a total weight of almost 10 thousand tons on fairway supports. The installation of such large metal structures in the sea area is being carried out for the first time in the practice of domestic bridge construction, reports the Crimean Bridge information portal.

The arches are the largest structures of the Crimean Bridge, their weight is almost 6 thousand tons for railways and more than 4 thousand tons for roads. The length of each is 227 m. They will block the navigable fairway of the Kerch-Yenikalsky Canal at a height of 35 m, thus preserving space for the unhindered transit of ships.
