U Garáží bridge
Prague, Czech Republic / 04.2013 - 11.2013
In just seven months, PORR constructed a new road bridge on one of the busiest routes in Prague. The company’s work served to replace an old, dilapidated bridge. The new pre-tensioned exposed concrete structure is not just optically better-suited to the city, it also satisfies the requirements of modern traffic. The fact that this traffic had to remain uninterrupted throughout the entire construction period presented particular challenges, but these were successfully overcome.
