Programme 2007 - 2013 South-East Finland-Russia ENPI CBC

Description

Description (EN):

The overall objective of the project was intensification of local and regional economic development by improving international traffic communications between Russia and Finland on the road Vyborg-Svetogorsk-Imatra. Opening of the international BCP Imatra-Svetogorsk increased traffic flow on this road and the carrying capacity and conditions on the old bridge over Storozhevaya river constituted a bottleneck, traffic safety on this section of the road was insufficient. Construction of the new bridge started in 2006, however was interrupted in 2008 due to instability of the slopes of the approaches of the bridge. It was important to finalise reconstruction of the bridge using new available technologies.

Achievements (EN):

Objectives were reached by the following activities: 1) reinforcement of the existing and construction of the lacking part of the bridge; 2) construction of the approach roads. All activities have been implemented, although part of the works had to be finalised after the project end which was 31.12.2014 (i.e works were finished in 2015) using own regional funds. The following works have been done: reconstruction of the main columns; replacing of rubber bearings and beveled bearing plates; reinforcement of additional concrete layers; construction of approach slabs; construction of bridge deck; asphalt pavement on the bridge and its approaches; reinforcement of spans with polymer materials; installation of guard rails; installation of road signs. Official ceremony of opening of the bridge was 19.11.2015.
