DIV Group has signed a contract for the reconstruction of the intersection of the state road DC 8 on Širina Solin, supplying fasteners for a new 471m bridge over the Jadro river.
DIV Group will perform all reinforced concrete work on the foundations and columns, on which the steel span assembly made in Brodosplit will be mounted. The new bridge will consist of two separate roadways with two traffic lanes each. The Širina intersection will retain its full functionality, and the project documentation includes its reconstruction in the form of road reconstruction, lighting, existing traffic light devices, and other traffic signals and equipment.
This contract is part of a partnership between DIV and Brodosplit. The Split shipyard can design, build, and transport all types of structures according to the customer’s individual needs, while DIV Group will assemble them on all European markets.
Brodosplit will produce 14 segments of the main bridge girder weighing 2,000 tonnes, paint them with a protective coating and deliver them directly to the construction site. All works will be done by the DIV group as a contractor with its specialised subcontractors.
