| Abstract: |
Highway ring road of Wrocław is a very important part of an urban communication network which is now under modernization work. It will connect the existing A4 highway with the S8 expressway being under construction. The ring road is 26.765 km long. Forty bridge structures were designed along or over it. Total length of highway bridges and viaducts is more than 6 km, that is equivalent to 22% of the whole route. The longest bridge is a concrete cable-stayed structure over the Odra River. The river flows in its main bed, while inland navigation uses additional channel with two locks. There is an island located between the river and the channel. The planned bridge is 1742 m long and consists of: south flyover 610 m long with continuous eleven span prestressed concrete box structure; main bridge 612 m long with two separate decks connected to a single concrete H-shaped pylon; north flyover 520 m long with continuous girders made of prestressed concrete. |
