Construction of Slančíková Street - Wilson Riverside Bridge in Nitra

The new structure of a road cable-stayed bridge is introduced in the article. Some specialties, like a solution of sidewalks for cyclists and pedestrians by combination of steel and timber members, are presented. Anchorage of balancing hangers into an abutment by manner of prestressed rods represents another non-traditional solution. Pressured concreting of pylons and part of main girders was applied, too. The bridge was built to substitute an old cable-stayed footbridge, which was removed as soon as the new bridge structure had been completed. The new bridge was officially opened on June 11, 2011. Total weight of the steel structure represents 250 tons.
