Freyssinet has been installing a metal arch
bridge's locked-coil cables on the Györ bypass in the north-west of the
country.
The prosperous city of Györ,
the fifth largest conurbation in Hungary, is undergoing significant economic
expansion, and road building work started in 2017 to improve urban
mobility. The project includes the construction of a new
bypass, together with a metal
arch bridge.
Main contractor Hódút chose Freyssinet to install the locked-coil
cables needed for the structure. In August and September 2017, Freyssinet
installed a total of 68
cables in record time.
Launched by the city authorities in January 2017, the road project will
reduce travelling times by relieving
congestion on one of the busiest
routes in the city when it is opened to the public in
May 2018. Named the Mosoni-Danube
Bridge after the river that it crosses, the bridge is 180-meter-long
and used by over 9,000 vehicles every day.
