• The lean of the buildings in the twisted areas reaches

20.4° with a maximum overhang of more than 22 m over

the foundation

• Designed with complex and demanding geometry using

precast concrete elements

• New bridge design method used for construction, that

of unlimited durability

• Non-prestressed reinforcing steel is not included in the

bridge superstructure, hence not susceptible to

corrosion and no need for waterproofing of the deck

• It had economic advantages during construction and

savings in operation and maintenance

• It indicates that sustainability and durability concepts of

bridge building can be applied to small and medium

sized bridges

• Cable stayed bridge with slender curved deck and two inclined lambda shaped pylons

(the radius of curvature is 800 m in the main span)

• The curvature and inclination of the masts allows for a perfect integration with

surrounding landscape

• During construction analyses were performed to evaluate bending forces in the deck

and the towers

• Introduced prestressing forces in tower to maintain balanced forces during construction
