Rosario–Victoria Bridge: Stay Cable System for the Paraná River Crossing
The Rosario–Victoria Bridge spans the Paraná River, connecting Santa Fe and Entre Ríos provinces. DYWIDAG delivered 128 DYNA Grip® stay cables, ensuring durability and long-term performance for this landmark crossing.
The overall project consists of a series of dams with a combined total length of 48 km and several large bridges.
Principally two-lanes, the highway is doubled to four lanes on the bridge section over the Paran river, to substantially facilitate inter-regional traffic between Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. The main bridge is a 608 m long stay cable structure over the Paran river with two approach viaducts measuring 1.1 km and 2.4 km in length. The main span is 350 m long providing 50 m vertical clearance for shipping. The side spans are 120 m long. The bridge deck is held in place with fan-shaped stay cables arranged in two levels off the pylons.
The installation of 128 DYWIDAG Stay Cables with DYNA Grip Stay Anchorages total weight 740 t was successfully completed early in 2002. The remaining works in connection with the installation of the stay cables were successfully completed in June 2002.
