The Widening of Rande Bridge Project has been awarded with Finalist Outstanding Structure Award 2019 by the IABSE, recognizing ‘the first long span cable-stayed bridge widened in the world, being a unique milestone in the field of Structural Engineering’.<\/p>\n
The bridge widening has been designed by MC2 Estudio de Ingenier\u00eda together with Dr. Manuel Juli\u00e1 Vilardell. MC2 has been also responsible of the site management during the works.<\/p>\n
The widening of the bridge over the Rande strait is the first long span cable-stayed bridge widened in the world, being a unique milestone in the field of Structural Engineering. Its innovative design solves the functional problem proving a notary increase of the highway capacity while maximizing the use of the structural strength of the existing bridge as well as improving its dynamic behaviour. Thanks to a carefully planned methodology, the construction have been accomplished without affections to both the traffic on the existing bridge and the natural environment of Vigo estuary in a record time of 14 months for the on-site erection.<\/p>\n
This system allowed bridge-widening work without both interrupting the traffic on the existing bridge and affecting the Vigo estuary\u2014a very valuable zone from a natural environmental and landscape perspective. These restrictions had a critical impact in the building process.<\/p>\n
MC2 is very proud to have been participate in this project and congratulates the rest of participant for collaborating in the project\u2019s succeed.<\/p>\n
