📋 Tender Overview
The renovated railway bridge over the Oder river in Nietkowice on the Wrocaw - Szczecin line will ensure smooth travel and better conditions for the transport of goods. PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe SA allocated over PLN 46 million to the improvement of this important crossing. In September the longest span of the railway bridge was installed. The trains will run on a new crossing this year. Only in 2020 in order to improve transport PLK rebuilt 130 bridges.- The investment in Nadodrzanka will foster greater competitiveness of rail transport and the development of the economy thanks to better access to the ports of Szczecin and winoujcie. It should be emphasized that the construction of such an important crossing takes place while maintaining train traffic - said Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Andrzej Bittel. In September the longest 75 m span was slid over the reconstructed eastern railway bridge over the Oder river in Nietkowice. Hydraulic actuators and temporary supports in the river current were used to assemble the almost 420-ton element. The slide was put on in about 34 hours. The railway crossing over the Oder river already has 7 out of 10 new spans. The steel elements were made in the factory and transported to the construction site. The structures are placed on renovated reinforced supports. In addition micropiles were used to strengthen the object made around the supports in the floodplain. After all spans are installed the contractor will start building a new track and catenary. The robots do not limit the running of trains. About 55 passenger and freight trains pass through the neighboring bridge structure every day. The works are scheduled to be completed in 2023.Greater transport opportunities in the Lubuskie VoivodeshipThe reconstructed bridge on one of the two tracks will ensure efficient and safe travel of trains. The possibilities of Nadodrzanka an important railway line leading from Lower Silesia through the Lubuskie Voivodeship to Western Pomerania will increase. After the completion of the investment the speed of trains running over the Oder will increase to 120 km h. The capacity of the bridge section will improve and more trains will be able to use it. It will be possible to prepare a more advantageous offer of connections and provide better conditions for green rail transport.Bridge in Nietkowice in numbersconstruction 1871length approx. 420 m width - approx. 13 m height - approx. 1.4 mnumber of spans - 10Bridges - important elements of railway linesAs part of the modernization of the railway network PKP PLK SA is building new bridges and modernizing crossings. In order to ensure efficient rail transport funds from EU projects and budgetary projects are used. In 2020 alone over 130 river crossings e.g. in Krakw Warka and on the Central Railway Line were reconstructed. The modernizations increase the technical parameters and allow the construction of additional tracks. This year work continues among others in the construction of bridges in Czechowice-Dziedzice Lubartw Krakw and Wronki.
