GENERAL BRIDGE INFORMATION

Bridge is located in city of Plock, on the river Vistula, 100 km west of the Warsaw. Existing bridges didn't satisfy with their possibilities due to larger traffic flow. In 1997 an international competition for the design solution for the new bridge was opened. On that competition this design team won the first prize. The bridge in Plock consists of the bridge over the river and approach bridge. Bridge over the river is a cable stayed bridge, steel structure with orthotropic plate, 60+60+375+60+60 m spans, two pylons and seven levels of stays in one plain. Approach bridges are two continuous cantilever beams, composite structures, spans of 2 x (5 x 58,50 m). Concrete piers are founded on bored piles. Total width of the bridge is 27,50 m . Specificity of the design were great traffic loads – accommodated to the needs of military convoys with two vehicles with 4x200 = 800 kN. The Bridge has been checked also in case of replacement of complete pairs of the stays i.e. for 28 different structural systems. The bridge has the longest span of steel bridge which has ever been designed by one team from Serbia and the longest span in Poland.
