| Decsription: | The load-bearing steel structure of the bridge dating from the last century was first repaired and sand-blasted before the execution of the paint coat. A crucial problem was the short deadline of a fortnight for the dismantling of all existing public services, i.e. sewerage, water supply, heat supply, strong current and telecommunication lines, replacing these services with new installations and reconnecting them on both bridge heads of a length of 12 and 10 metres, including the replacement of both expansion bearings. Finally, a new bridge deck, adequate to this project, was carried out. |
