Our Solution
ViaBridges accepted a DB challenge of expanding road no.38 and providing a grade separation between this road and the Tel Aviv -Jerusalem Railway line.
The project includes a bridge over Shorek River, two bridges over Kisalon river, retaining walls and the rehabilitation and expansion of the old Shorek river bridge.
The rehabilitation of the old bridge demanded a creative and cost-effective solution.
Compliance with new safety standards required changes to be made to the bridge structure. ViaBridges developed an improved solution that dramatically reduced costs by 90%, using several drill bolts.
