| Abstract: |
The Constantine Viaduct is a major road and bridge project in Constantine, Algeria. The project will improve the infrastructure significantly when completed in 2014. During the design, special attention has been given to road traffic solutions, pedestrian access and aesthetical aspects due to the urban location. The main design challenges associated with placing a major road and bridge in the middle of an old city with many restrictions have been defining the alignment, complex geometry of bridge structures and need for extraordinaire geotechnical structures. The new viaduct bridge will be a significant cable-stayed bridge on the African continent. It will stand out as a very elegant cable-stayed bridge with its slender appearance, clear lines and prominent location next to the other famous and beautiful bridges in Constantine. |
