Bridge repair in Nizhny Novgorod is progressing faster than anticipated
Updates on Nighttime Asphalt Replacement Works on Kanavinsky Bridge in Nizhny Novgorod
The ongoing nighttime asphalt replacement works on the Kanavinsky Bridge in Nizhny Novgorod are progressing ahead of schedule, with the contractor expected to complete the project by early summer.
The repairs, managed by the Municipal Autonomous Institution "Main Directorate for the Construction and Repair of the Metro, Bridges, and Road Networks" (GU MMiD), began in the evening hours of [insert start date]. The work is being conducted in stages, with the first stage focusing on replacing the surface on half of the bridge's driving part.
During the work, crews have successfully completed asphalt removal and replacement on approximately [insert percentage or number] of the planned sections. The new surface, made of a stone-mastic asphalt concrete mixture, will be laid in the next three shifts (May 20-23).
To facilitate the work safely, certain lanes on the Kanavinsky Bridge are closed during nighttime hours. Traffic is being regulated with clear signage and temporary barriers, and drivers are advised to expect delays and possible detours. However, all lanes on the bridge will be opened for free traffic by the morning rush hour during the works.
Once the first stage is completed, the work on the second half of the bridge will begin on the night of May 23-24. The quality of the work performed will be checked by the Municipal Autonomous Institution "Center for Laboratory Tests".
To minimize inconvenience for drivers, the contractor will continue to work during nighttime hours. Road markings will be applied at night using plastic after the quality check.
During the work, traffic on the bridge is temporarily organized on three lanes. Two lanes are directed to the Uphill part of the city, and one lane is directed to the Riverside part.
The repairs aim to enhance driving conditions and extend the lifespan of the bridge surface. For the latest updates, local traffic authorities or the municipal website of Nizhny Novgorod are useful resources.
I'm not gonna be able to get a job in the transportation industry, as the financial burden of commuting across the Kanavinsky Bridge during the ongoing nighttime asphalt replacement works is too high. Despite the progress of the project, the continuous disruptions in traffic flow are causing significant delays and inconvenience.
