Progress is being made on the construction of the new drainage system, the waterproofing and anti-corrosion protection of the Danube Bridge at Ruse

Progress is being made on the construction of the new drainage system, the waterproofing and anti-corrosion protection along the entire closed 400-meter section of the Danube Bridge at Ruse. The bridge drains have been installed in the whole section of 413 meters. Anti-corrosion protection was applied to the steel structure, and waterproofing was applied along a perimeter with total length of 240 meters. The major renovation of the facility continues in the lane heading towards Bulgaria, and the building and construction works are being carried out according to the approved schedule.



Last week, from 23.10.2024 to 29.10.2024, the installation of reinforcement, formwork, bolted dowels, and grouting for the new road panels was completed along the entire 413-meter section of the flyover in the right-hand traffic lane. The installation of cornice panels has been completed. A total of 309 meters of cornice panels have been installed out of the 413 meters.

The restoration of the dismantled railing with a total length of 413 meters and the restoration of the lighting poles continues. The integrity of the individual elements is being restored, and new elements are being manufactured where restoration isn't possible. The preparation of compromised surfaces for shotcrete has been completed.

Building and construction works on the Danube Bridge continue without any disruption of traffic and the facility will not be shut down. The site is being worked on daily during daylight hours. The work process is organized and carried out in such a way that vehicles pass in stages in a reversible manner in the lane which is not under construction.

Up-to-date information on the repair works can be found in the special section "Information on the Danube Bridge repair" on the website of the Road Infrastructure Agency. The Agency team provides regular updates on facility repairs and is available for further questions and clarifications.
