La Côtière viaduct: taking shape

7 October 2010 - New contracts - France

On 8 August, the joint venture formed by Dodin Campenon Bernard (VINCI Construction), leader, and GTM TP Lyon (VINCI Construction France) finished laying the 648 slabs making up the deck of the La Côtière viaduct. The technique used (installation of prefabricated slabs with the aid of two gantries) made it possible to create the 2,400 lm-long deck in just four months.

This structure forms part of the bypass round the north-east of Greater Lyons which, in 2011, will link the A40 motorway with the A6 motorway to the north of Lyons (central France). Project handover is scheduled for late 2010.
Value of the works: €75m.
