New Danube bridge almost ready: guaranteed to operate for 100 years
The watercourse closure on the new Danube bridge was completed: the connection between the Paks and Kalocsa banks was established. The final structural framework has also been completed. The bridge will serve as a crossing over the river for at least 100 years after it is officially opened.
Built by Duna Aszfalt Plc., the construction project of the new Danube bridge in the Paks and Kalocsa region has reached an important moment. On 26 January, the last deck slab of the nearly one-kilometre-long bridge was cast, according to a report sent to Magyar Építők.
Once opened, the bridge will serve as a crossing over the river for at least 100 years.
However, the work is far from finished. The fitting-out of the bridge is now starting: the coating systems protecting the structures are being applied, the railings and stormwater drainage systems are being installed, and the bridge monitoring system is being set up.
