Vinci: delivers the Atlantic bridge in Panama
(CercleFinance.com) - Vinci announces the inauguration, of the Atlantic Bridge in Panama on 2 August.
This links the North American and South American continents and may be used, whether the canal locks are in operation or not.
Located 3 km from the Gatun and Agua Clara Locks, this bridge is 4.6 km long, including 3.1 km of exceptional engineering structures. The central span, i.e. the bridge section that spans the canal, consisting of 530 metres of concrete deck located 75 metres above sea level, constitutes a world record for a cable-stayed bridge.
The completion of this work has required the mobilisation of Vinci Construction Grands Projets for the construction, Rodio Swissboring Panamá, a subsidiary of Soletanche Bachy, for the deep foundations, and Freyssinet for the installation of the stays.
