Krasnoyarsk is a city with a unique geographical location, as it is located immediately on the border of Eastern and Western Siberia. But the city itself is considered East Siberian, although the Yenisei River divides it into two parts. From this it turns out that the right bank is Eastern Siberia, and the left bank is Western Siberia.
Characteristics and features of the area
Krasnoyarsk has always been considered the largest city in Siberia. Thanks to its industry, this city was able to conclude an agreement with China, in which the second party can introduce its products to Krasnoyarsk. Thanks to the new settlers, Krasnoyarsk residents were able to learn a lot.
The city covers an area of 354 square meters. km and is divided into 7 districts, and the coastal part is occupied by only three of them. "Why such a large area?" - You thought. But the answer is simple: the city is very scattered on the map, and the distance between districts reaches 8 km, which are usually wastelands or industrial zones. But now construction companies are building up wastelands, trying to use the land as efficiently as possible. The right bank of the Yenisei is called the five-story, tram, old Krasnoyarsk. Connects all rightshore is the longest street in Russia called Krasrab. By itself, this avenue is very diverse. It originates in the Leninsky district, and ends in the Kirovsky district. The most expensive apartments on the right bank are located here, as well as the circus and the Tourist Hotel. And the very view of the Yenisei bank is very beautiful.
Bridges of Krasnoyarsk
Naturally, several bridges pass through the Yenisei, which decorate and complement the ensemble of the city. And in general, any bridge is an incredibly beautiful architectural work that sometimes serves for centuries. The first bridge, which began to operate on October 17, 1961, is called Communal. Its length is 490 and 410 meters and is represented by two bridges. At that time, this bridge was considered the longest in Asia. The second bridge is called Oktyabrsky. Its construction is all-metal, the width is 50 meters and the length is more than 2500 meters. The construction of the Oktyabrsky Bridge began in the 1970s. The third bridge called 777 or "Three Sevens" is designed for rail and road traffic. The road is 20 meters wide and almost 700 meters long.
Expected results
Construction will be carried out in two stages, and the result will be a new fourth bridge. Krasnoyarsk is looking forward to the completion of construction. The first stage will include the connection between the two banks of the Yenisei. The second stage will include an interchange along the left bank, which will be connected to an overpass high-speedhighway. Technical indicators of the first stage will include: traffic lanes, which will be 6; two multi-level forks for transport; 4 The bridge across the Yenisei will be approximately 1562 meters long.
Public transport
Construction of a bridge in Krasnoyarsk will reduce the overall traffic load on existing bridge crossings, reduce the overrun of vehicles through the city center. This bridge will help redistribute the flow of cars and will make it possible to increase the speed of transport by 25%. This will help protect the city from traffic jams, congestion and other traffic disruptions.
Since Krasnoyarsk residents know that they live in a city with a very unfavorable ecology, which has suffered not only due to climate change, but also due to human intervention (coal mining, ferrous metals, nuclear waste disposal), 4 bridge through the Yenisei will provide an opportunity to improve the ecology of the city. And today it is one of the urgent tasks. This is especially true for the center of the city of Krasnoyarsk. The 4th bridge will allow 4 districts of the city to improve their ecological situation due to the new bridge, as more than 500 thousand people will live next to it.
Social importance
The new bridge will provide a large number of personnel and material opportunities. Construction will require metal structures, inert materials, high-quality cement, large labor collectives, and good construction specialists available in Krasnoyarsk. The bridge across the Yenisei will require about 2,200 skilled workers and so manyfor the production of building materials. Completion of the entire project is planned in 4 years. 4 bridge across the Yenisei as a project is a very complex engineering task that will be carried out for several years.
In early 2012, the drilling of pile fields began, later they became the foundation for the bridge piers. Since 2013, the installation of metal structures for superstructures has been underway. Delivery of materials to the facility is carried out from a local steel structure plant. In general, the length of one beam will be from 18 to 21 meters, and the width will be about 2.34 meters, and the weight will be 40 tons. The total amount of the entire span that will be used to build the bridge in Krasnoyarsk will be 1,365 tons.
Construction results
To date, about 475 tons of steel structures have already been installed, which is approximately 12 beams on temporary supports. This year it is planned to mount and erect 365 tons of metal structures. The project involves about 50 pieces of equipment and 500 bridgemen from different construction branches. According to the project, the installation of spans should be completed this year.
After the liberation of the sites along the banks of the Yenisei, the scope of all work will expand and will be focused on the construction of interchanges for transport. In 2015, work will be carried out to equip the bridge, at the same time it will be able to withstand all traffic loads. The total value of the contract will be about 12 billion rubles.
This bridge can be safely attributed to the class of unique structures in Russia. Around the bridge will be activedevelop residential areas. Approximately 3 million sq. m. of housing, where almost 100,000 people can live.
Simultaneously with the bridge, curvilinear overpasses are being built, and the entire engineering ensemble will be completed in 2016.
Transportation
Thus, today the new 4th bridge across the Yenisei in Krasnoyarsk is a necessary and important project for the transport life of the town.
Krasnoyarsk is considered the second in Russia in terms of the degree of motorization, since today it is here that there are 355 cars per 1000 inhabitants. It should be noted that from 1986 to 2010 the traffic flow on the main bridges across the Yenisei increased from 4.5 thousand to 14 thousand cars per hour. At the same time, the capacity of the system of huge city bridges has remained constant for 25 years.
The fourth autobridge is a more important building for the city. The new bridge will significantly reduce the traffic load on the existing bridge crossings in the city, as well as increase the average speed of vehicles by more than 25%. This mainly concerns the busiest central highways, where it is planned to increase the flow rate to 30-34 km/h.
The commissioning of the new bridge will allow for the reassignment of traffic flows, avoid congestion and preserve the unity and efficiency of the city's transport system.
City Ecology
Also, thanks to the construction of the newest bridge across the Yenisei,the ecology of the city will improve, especially its central part. The main expected environmental effect from the construction of the newest bridge will be the return of the situation with harmful vehicle emissions in the central part of the city to the level of 2006. It was then that the minimum indicator of harmful emissions was last recorded, which is about 2 times lower than the current one. The improvement of the transport and natural situation will happen in 4 districts of the town and the nearest suburbs, with a total number of residents living in them more than 500 thousand people.
Conclusion
Thus, we have considered all the possible aspects with the help of which it is possible to somehow diagnose that today a rather large-scale and much-needed bridge construction project is being implemented in Krasnoyarsk.
This bridge can be safely attributed to the class of unique structures in Russia. And we examined in more than detail what its features are and what main functions will be implemented using this bridge for the city of Krasnoyarsk. 4 the bridge across the Yenisei will be a very significant event for most of the nearby regions, since transport links with them will become very convenient and cost-effective. It remains only to wait for the completion of construction and draw final conclusions about how profitable this project has become for the city and its local residents.
