The fourth bridge across the Ob should be, in accordance with the project, not only incredibly beautiful, but also comfortable for every resident of the city thanks to a convenient interchange system. In accordance with the project submitted to the Architectural and Urban Planning Council of Novosibirsk, the issues of convenience and beauty have been completely resolved. The red arch, which will rise above the Ob, will complement and decorate the architecture of the city.
Luxurious spectacle
If the fourth bridge across the Ob is built, its right-bank exit will be located in the very center of the city, on Krasny Prospekt and near the City Start park. The longest span of 234 meters will be decorated with a cable-stayed pylon. The pylon, 113 meters high, can be either constructed from monolithic reinforced concrete or designed as a metal lattice structure. The channel part of the building will be presented in the format of an elegant beam. The objectivity of using the cable-stayed span in the design is due to the presence of numerous communications in the city center, where one of the sides of the bridge will be located.
Suggested design parameters: right bank
The fourth bridge across the Obwill have 6 lanes, and the length of the crossing will be 5.1 km. The length of the bridge itself will be 1.6 kilometers. The project provides for an overpass at the intersection with the railway. It is planned to equip a system of multi-level interchanges in the area of entrances to the bridge. The right bank will connect the Kamenskaya highway and Krasny Prospekt, Bolshevistskaya and Fabrichnaya streets. There will be no exit to South Square. The prospect of including Zyryanovskaya Street in the interchange structure is being considered.
All interchanges will belong to the first class. Thanks to them, uninterrupted movement of road transport will become possible in the absence of traffic lights. The estimated speed on the bridge is 100 kilometers per hour. The designers of the structure proposed to implement the construction of a bridge across the Ob on the basis of both truss and beam spans.
Arrangement of the left bank
If there were practically no problems with the right-hand exit of the structure, then the design of the left bank provokes numerous discussions. It is in the area where the bridge comes ashore that a complex traffic intersection is located, where several traffic flows simultaneously intersect: from Stationnaya Street and Vatutin, from Stanislavskaya and Shiroka, from Planirovochnaya, as well as from Labor and Energy Squares. The railway is also located here. The designers simultaneously considered 25 interchange options. The most difficult part will be the part of the bridge crossing near the Energetikov Square. According to preliminary estimates,the cost of its construction will correspond to the cost of the entire Bugrinsky bridge.
What will the most complex element of the bridge look like?
As mentioned above, the new bridge across the Ob on the left side will receive a very difficult interchange. Tunneling is planned in areas where the transport route intersects with the railway. The intersection of the traffic flows themselves will be implemented at several levels. This is a passage near Stationnaya Street, Energetikov Street and Planning Street, Vatutin and Stanislavsky Street, on Shirokaya Street. Due to the fact that the structure will be built on the terms of partnership between the state and private individuals, it is planned to make the passage toll.
It is on the left bank that it is planned to locate a cash center for paying fares. The project of the bridge across the Ob was fully and in detail worked out by March 2015. The highway in the form of a bridge will provide the shortest connection between the city center and its southern and southwestern parts. The construction will provide convenient access to the M51 federal type roads called Baikal, M52 Chuisky Trakt and M53.
Terms of construction and design
The fourth bridge across the Ob will cost the state and private individuals 532 million rubles. This amount already includes the resettlement of 500 houses on the banks of the river, where the structure will have access. The preliminary cost of construction is equal to 20-25 billion rubles. If the project was finalized already in March 2015, the collection of the full package of projectdocumentation is scheduled for the end of summer 2015. The start of construction is scheduled for the end of 2015. This information was officially presented by the governor of Novosibirsk to journalists.
From March to April, a full examination of documents is planned, a competition has been announced for the place of the developer-investor. The main part of the costs is planned to be assigned to a private investor, whose costs in the future will gradually be paid off by paid travel. The local budget was used only to pay for the design. In the future, it is planned to allocate funds not for the bridge itself across the Ob River, but only for preparing the site for construction. The preliminary cost will be 2 billion rubles.
How much load will the structure take on?
The construction will connect the central region of Novosibirsk with the busiest area of the left bank. It will help unload the existing crossing. According to the information provided by the designers, the Oktyabrsky Bridge, which operates today, receives at least 7.5 thousand cars per hour. Dmitrovsky bridge accepts a load of 7,000 vehicles per hour.
The load indicator of the recently built Bugrinsky bridge currently does not exceed 3.1 thousand vehicles per hour. In accordance with the forecasts provided by the Stroyproekt Institute design company, taking into account the rapidly increasing number of vehicles, after the structure is put into operation, it will have a load of 4, 3thousand cars per hour. This will unload the Dmitrovsky bridge up to 6.9 thousand cars per hour, and the Oktyabrsky bridge - up to 6.4 thousand.
Project under scrutiny
The project, according to which the fourth bridge across the Ob (Novosibirsk) will be built, was the focus of attention at the Transport of Siberia conference, which took place on May 29, 2015. Maxim Sokolov, Minister of Transport, and Governor Vladimir Gorodetsky talked about how the bridge could be built in accordance with the project through public-private partnership.
Expertise, which was scheduled for March-April, will take place in the near future. Its completion will be a signal to apply for financing construction within the framework of the federal budget. According to the plan, funds will be provided in the form of a grant to support construction. The source of funds will be a collection from drivers of cars weighing more than 12 tons, which will pass on federal roads.
Investor name unknown yet
The investor who will take on the financial burden and pay for the new bridge across the Ob is still unknown. It will be determined only by the end of 2015. According to the head of the Federal Road Agency Ivan Grigorovich, the project will be implemented by the end of 2020. It is for this period that the opening of a new bridge across the Ob is planned. The concession period will be about 20 years. At the moment, the process of selecting a concessionaire has already begun, which indicates the effectiveness of the mechanisms of state-private cooperation. The package of documents is already fully completed.
Demolition of houses under the project
The fourth bridge, which will connect the banks of the Ob River in Novosibirsk, will most likely require the demolition of at least 500 houses. Residents of Bolshaya and Tonnelnaya streets have already received notices from Central Bridge OJSC about the inventory and the upcoming assessment of compensation. The company is obligated to inventory the housing stock and to demolish it. As part of the notifications, a request was made for assistance in the implementation of the project. From the message of Vladimir Shklovsky, who holds the post of deputy general director of the Central Bridge company, it became known that the houses were reserved by the Novosibirsk mayor's office. Based on the experience of building the third bridge, Shklovsky spoke of the occurrence of some inconvenience, which he calls the standard workflow. Despite lawsuits, all issues were resolved, and every resident of the region where the demolition was carried out received state support.
Who is ready to act as an investor? Estimated Investments
The total length of the bridge across the Ob will be 5.1 kilometers. The head of the region constantly in his official statements says that the number of persons interested in the implementation of the project is increasing. Among the most active contenders, it is worth noting the management company "Leader", as well as "Gazprombank". VTB Bank was also among the contenders. According to preliminary calculations, the construction of the structurewill open up new opportunities for foreign investors in terms of investing in the development of the business infrastructure adjacent to the structure.
Preliminary estimates allow us to talk about the amount of sixty billion rubles. The information was presented by Olga Molchanova, who holds the post of Minister of Economic Development of the region. The implementation of the project for the arrangement of business zones requires the involvement of a whole pool of investors, each of which will operate in their own professional environment. Already today, the largest domestic banks are showing an active interest in the implementation of the project. Increased attention was recorded from large French, Chinese and Japanese commercial organizations, private investors.
