Installation of the arch of the Crimean Bridge completed ahead of schedule
In connection with the completion of the operation, the navigation closed in the Kerch Strait, which was closed during the installation of the arch, was resumed ahead of time.
Leonid Ryzhenkin, Deputy Director General for Infrastructure Projects of Stroygazmontazh LLC, said that the builders performed the operation in 54 hours instead of the hours assigned to 72.
In total, more than 150 sailors and builders took part in the naval operation. Now the arch is securely fixed by the so-called "wind ties", and the final assembly on the fairway supports will last until mid-November. During this time, the builders will assemble the end elements of the overall design and will put on special elements - supporting parts.
According to Arkady Rotenberg, chairman of the board of directors of the company Stroygazmontazh, after installing two arches, one can already speak of a good temporary backlog in the construction of the bridge. And in the first quarter of 2018, a single bridge bed will be formed between the banks of the Kerch Strait.
