We have provided the outline project, preliminary project, dynamic analyses for wind and earthquakes, detailed design with tender documentation and supervision during the construction period.
Tverlands Bridge is a balanced cantilever bridge for a four-lane road and a walkway/cycleway. The bridge has two main spans, 180 metres and 165 metres, and a total length of 670 metres. The bridge was built with 3 cantilever axes and a side span of 148 metres divided into 3 spans. The bridge rests on foundations constructed using four different systems: Cantilever axes: – drilled piles to level -12.0 (A2), – submerged caisson at level -30.0 (A3), – directly on rock/reef in the fjord (A4). Side span: – pile groups with steel pipe piles (A5-7).
The bridge is the first cantilever bridge in Norway for a four-lane road. The superstructure has been built as a box cross-section with three stays, the outer two of which are oblique.
The bridge was opened by Kjetil Solvik-Olsen, Minister of Transport and Communications, on 9 November 2013.
