A BALLASTLESS BRIDGE

UN PONTE SENZA MASSICCIATA

The article describes how rails are laid on a ballastless bridge formed by concrete structures with built-in steel girders. This new technique has proved most satisfactory. No rail movement was caused by the passage of 60 million tonnes of heavy traffic and fast trains, thereby rendering any maintenance measures unnecessary.
