The world's longest cable-stayed bridge span to be created in Vladivostok by Freyssinet

6 October 2010 - New contracts - Russian Federation

Freyssinet, a subsidiary of VINCI Construction, has won the contract to design, manufacture and install the stay cables of the Russky Island Bridge, by Vladivostok, in Russia.

The new bridge (total length: 1,872 metres) will feature the longest cable-stayed span in the world: 1,104 metres. Following the construction, in 1994, of the Normandy Bridge, with a span of 856 metres, Freyssinet will thus once again be setting a new record.

The installation works will be undertaken on-site between May and November 2011, on behalf of the companies USK Most and Mostovik.

This is the second contract to be secured in the Vladisvostok area by Freyssinet, which has also been appointed, by the company TMK, to supply the design, manufacture and installation of the stay cables of the Golden Horn Bay Bridge. With a span of 737 metres, it will be one of the tenth longest cable-stayed bridges in the world.
