| FCC to build bridge over Danube Spanish construction giant FCC, through its Austrian subsidiary Alpine, has been awarded the contract to build a new bridge over the Danube at Traismauer (Lower Austria). The contract is worth 48.7 million euro. The Traismauer bridge will connect the S33 and S5 highways. Once completed, it will provide a full dual carriageway connection between Sankt Pölten and Vienna, which lies north of the Danube. The bridge will shorten the journey by 20km and also reduce congestion on the B19 Tullner Strasse. Construction is expected to be completed by mid-2011. This will be FCC's second bridge over the Danube. It is currently building the Vidin-Calafat bridge linking Bulgaria and Romania (budget: 116 million euro). The bridge, which is part of European Corridor IV (Dresden-Istanbul) will be 1,971 metres long. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
