It looked back on a recently completed expressway development in Slovakia with a photo gallery on its social media page its social media page with a photo gallery of a recently completed expressway development in Slovakia, the Strabag. The section, completed last November, was built between Kriváň and Mýtna as part of the R2 expressway.
The project involved the construction of more than nine kilometres of four-lane road in mountainous terrain. At the same time, Slovakia's longest valley bridge was built, which accounts for almost half of the entire section with a length of 4.374 kilometres.
The total length of the bridges is 6,402 metres.
The Slovak National Motorway Company According to previous information, a number of unique technical solutions were employed during the four-year construction period, including slipform construction, segmental (cantilever) concreting and the gradual advancement of the bridge. Between 450 and 500 workers and 30 tower cranes were working on site every day. In total, the bridges on this section are 6,402 metres long.
The Strabag entry emphasises that it was not only the terrain that posed a particular challenge, as a significant part of the work had to be carried out during the coronavirus pandemic. According to the motorway operator's analyses, the new section will carry around 7,000 passenger cars and 2,000 lorries per day from the affected settlements.
