| Abstrait: |
The New Fredrikstad Bascule Bridge is a vital part of a large infrastructure project in the city of Fredikstad in southern Norway, connecting the newly developed urban part Værste to the centre of the city. Due to heavy boat traffic in Vesterelva, a bascule solution was chosen. The solution was developed through a process of in-situ architectual design involving both owners, bridge engineers and architects. The result is a bascule bridge with four lanes of traffic and two lines of walkways, operated through a central lifting beam and counterweight above the bridge deck, so called “Dutch Style”. The special design has lead to challenging technical solutions to cope with dynamics, hydraulics and difficult soil conditions. The construction work started in spring 2009 and is ongoing. The bridge is due to be opened in 2011. |
