![80 meters above the ground! The highest flyover in Poland is already at the halfway point! [PHOTOS]](/api/img?u=https%3A%2F%2Frmf.rmffm.pl%2Fnews%2Fattachments%2Fe9%2F3f%2Ffacebook-636x421-e93fe179.jpg&w=1200&q=72&f=webp)
The ES-26 flyover on the Babica – Jawornik section has reached a key construction stage, setting national engineering records.
AI-generated summary
The ES-26 flyover is part of the construction of the S19 expressway on the Babica - Jawornik section, which is an element of the international Via Carpatia route.
Prace prowadzone są na drodze ekspresowej S19, na odcinku Babica – Jawornik, w kierunku Barwinka. O zakończeniu betonowania głównego ustroju nośnego na najwyższej estakadzie w kraju poinformowano wczoraj.
"This is one of the most impressive engineering structures being built in our country. The construction of the ES-26 flyover is a real engineering masterpiece, during which many Polish records have already been set," emphasizes GDDKiA.
Gigantic scale – the numbers are impressive
Ośmioprzęsłowa estakada biegnie przez pagórkowate tereny między Żarnową a Godową. Łączna długość tej imponującej konstrukcji to aż 1082 metry przy szerokości 29 metrów i dwóch bliźniaczych ustrojach nośnych.
Najwyższe filary osiągają aż 80 metrów wysokości – to absolutny rekord w Polsce. Do budowy podpór użyto aż 51 800 metrów sześciennych betonu i 9250 ton stali. The longest span, with a span of 188 meters, was made using the overhang concreting method, which turned out to be necessary due to significant differences in terrain height.
Technological and logistical challenges
Prace na takiej wysokości wymagały wykorzystania najnowocześniejszych technologii. Ze względu na niestabilny grunt i rozległe przewyższenia niemożliwe było rozstawienie tradycyjnych rusztowań. So the engineers used specialized forming equipment and a pipeline system through which the concrete mixture was transported to a height of several dozen meters.
Next stages and future prospects
Teraz wykonawca skupi się na budowie drugiego ustroju nośnego. Po zakończeniu tych prac estakada przejmie ruch w stronę Rzeszowa, a obecnie ukończona konstrukcja ułatwi kolejne etapy budowy.
Zaawansowanie całego 11,6-kilometrowego odcinka S19 Babica – Jawornik przekroczyło już 80 procent. Prace mostowe osiągnęły ponad 90 procent, natomiast prace drogowe są na poziomie niemal 70 procent.
A number of other engineering structures are also being constructed at the same time: eight flyovers (seven with complete load-bearing structures), five road viaducts (two available to drivers) and four animal crossings.
