The Beska Bridge New Construction

The ongoing construction of Beska bridge is taking part between
the cities of Novi Sad and Belgrade near the town of Beska as part
of the full, 4-lane development of the E75 motorway (part of the PanEuropean Corridor 10).
The Design-Build Contract includes planning and construction of this
bridge. With 2,213 m length it is the longest bridge construction in all of
Serbia and the largest bridge in Europe currently being built. The bridge
is crossing the Danube river with spans of 60 m + 105 m + 210 m
+ 105 m + 60 m. Three bridge piers are constructed in the river. The
bridge have a height above ground of up to 40 m. The cantilever method of construction was used to build the wide spans of the bridge
crossing the river. This girders were concreted and pre-stressed in
short, balanced 5-m-sections on both sides of the piers at the same
time (balance beams). Once the centre of the span was reached, the
framework carriage is moved to the next pier and the procedure was
repeated until the overhanging girders joined in the middle of a span.

The Sava Bridge New Construction

The new cable stayed bridge, which will pass over the tip of Ada
Ciganlija island, carries six traffic lanes and a double track light rail line
as well as two pedestrian/cycling lanes. The bridge is a 6 span, continuous superstructure with an overall length of 929 meters and deck
width of 45.04 m. The main support system is a single pylon asymmetric cable stayed structure. The pylon is 200 meters high.
In the category of SINGLE-pylon cable-stayed bridges, with its 376 m
main span and deck width of 45 m together with the 200 m pylon,
Sava bridge is the largest asimmetric cable-stayed bridge being constructed in the world at this present time, with almost 16.935 m2 of
main span handing on ONE pylon.
With a main span of 376 m, the bridge over river Sava shall rank in the
top 10 list of long span cable-stayed bridges constructed in Europe.

The Preliminary Design was completed by Ponting Maribor, DDC

Ljubljana & CPV Novi Sad in 2006, as a first-awarded concept design
proposal on international competition in 2004. The bridge is to be constructed using a Design-Build approach, with the detailed design to
be completed by the contractor Porr Technobau und Umwelt AG. The
contract will be administered under the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for
Plan and Design Build, (First Edition, 1999).

Conclusion:
Quality of Sika product and Sikas experience guide this project to the
successful end.

The Gazela Bridge Refurbishment

Gazela is the most important bridge in Belgrade across the Sava river.
It was built within four years (1966-1970).
The bridge is 332 m long and 27.5 m wide, with three lanes in each
direction, and total road width of 21.8 m. It is constructed as a combination of beam and arch, with shallow-frame beam and diagonal steelconcrete abutments. The maximum height of the span centre is 22.8 m
at median water level.
The bridge is chief connection line between city center and New
Belgrade, and also carries the transit traffic on E70 and E75 highways
through Belgrade. As such, it is extremely overloaded and a cause of
frequent congestion, as it leans on the main Belgrades Mostar interchange. On average over 160,000 vehicles cross it every day (notwithstanding the impeded flow), even it was designed to be used by
40,000.
