Une ingenierie francaise aux confins des Balkans
A French engineering project in the Balkans Region
Realise en conception-construction, le pont reliant les villes de Vidin (Bulgarie) et Calafat (Roumanie) porte sur un meme niveau une autoroute 2x2 voies et une voie ferree. Cet ouvrage en beton precontraint, large de 31,35 m et long de 1791 m s'élève a 16 m au-dessus des plus hautes eaux du Danube dont il franchit la passe navigable par trois travees extradossees de 180 m. Ce projet technique d'importance a ete accompli dans un contexte europeen cosmopolite. ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: The cross-border bridge linking the towns of Vidin (Bulgaria) and Calafat (Romania) carries a two-lane dual-carriageway motorway and a railway track on a single level. Executed on a Design and Build basis, the prestressed concrete bridge is 31.35 m wide and 1791 m long. The bridge crosses the navigable channel of the Danube by means of the three curved 180-metre spans. To ensure project completion, the contractors solved numerous technical problems (regulations, geology, interoperability, etc.) as well as climatic, contractual, administrative and political issues. This major technical project was performed in a cosmopolitan European context under French-English project management (INGEROP (leader) and High Point Rendel)
