The technical opening of the bridge in the MD took place in Almaty. Kemel of Zhetysu district, the construction of which was started in August this year. Earlier, on behalf of the head of the megalopolis, Yerbolat Dosayev, traffic on the bridge was closed due to its emergency condition and it was decided to build a new one.
The new single–span bridge structure was erected in the shortest possible time - in almost 4 months. As part of the first stage of the work, the dismantling of the emergency bridge, the reconstruction of engineering networks, the installation of 29-meter drilling piles, the installation of supports and retaining networks were carried out.
The built bridge is almost twice as long as the old one: 33 meters versus 16.8 meters. The width has also been increased from 8.5 to 14.5 meters, and a pedestrian sidewalk of 1.5 meters each has been organized on both sides of the roadway.
The new bridge is fully completed and meets all standards. It has passed all the necessary checks and tests, ensuring safe movement for motorists and pedestrians.
As part of the second stage, work continues on strengthening the riverbed and landscaping, including lighting. In addition, the riverbed will be cleared of a temporary base for equipment. These works are planned to be carried out by the end of this month.
Recall that a technical inspection of the bridge structure of the 1960s carried out in June revealed partial destruction of concrete structures, the appearance of cracks on the bridge supports, the absence of a deformation seam and more.
Local residents do not hide their joy at the completion of the bridge, which was erected much faster than the regulatory deadlines.
"We expected a long repair of the old bridge, but we were pleasantly surprised that a new one was built, moreover, in a very short time. It can be seen that the work was carried out efficiently and with convenience for pedestrians. We can confidently say that it will last for decades," Yulia Khvalynskaya said.
Semeygul Ziyadanova also appreciated the new bridge. "This bridge is of great importance for the residents of the neighborhood, because several bus routes pass through it, as well as a school bus. It is indispensable for residents of the region and those who go to nearby villages. Without him, the daily trips were much longer," she said.
