| The structure is a cable-stayed bridge with multi-tube saddles running from unit 31 to unit 109, and is the project the greatest number of multi-tube saddles to date. It's also the first project for which the extrusion part of the coherent strand (Cohestrand®) has been produced by Freyssinet, Inc. (USA), with a world record in terms of length: 373 km of Cohestrand® installed, weighing 500 T. |
