Abstract: |
A design and construct contract for the resund Bridge was signed with Sundlink Contractors in November 1995. The 7845-m-long bridge consists of three parts: two approach bridges and one high bridge. The bridge is a two-level structure with an upper concrete road deck on steel trusses and a lower concrete deck for the railroad. Both concrete decks are in composite action with the structural steel. The high bridge is a stay-cable bridge with a main span of 490 m. The cables are anchored by two 203-m-high pylons, which are the highest building structures in Sweden. |
