Rustam Minnikhanov and Ilsur Metshin open a bridge along Nazarbayeva Street
Today, the
Rais (Head) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur
Metshin took part in the opening ceremony of the bridge on Nazarbayeva Street
after renovation. Initially, the facility was planned to be commissioned only
at the end of 2024, however around the clock work allowed to complete renovation
a year earlier.
Rustam Minnikhanov and Ilsur Metshin talked to the workers who were involved in the reconstruction of the bridge. As the Mayor of Kazan noted, the bridge on Nazarbayeva Street is the major transport artery that connects the historical part of the Old Tatar Settlement with the city center.
“Given the importance of the bridge, the construction workers, at our request, shortened the deadlines and managed to compete wroks in autumn 2023. The traffic in this part of the city will improve significantly,”- Ilsur Metshin said.
During the reconstruction, the load-bearing capacity of the bridge was increased from 15 to 25 tons per axle, the number of lanes increased from six to eight, pedestrian zones were expanded, and bike paths appeared. Outdoor lighting was connected to the bridge, construction cones, slopes and automatic irrigation systems were equipped, barrier and pedestrian fencing were installed.
“The pedestrian path is specially made on the edge of the bridge so that residents and tourists have the opportunity to enjoy the view of Kaban Lake,”- Igor Kulyazhev, Deputy Head of the Executive Committee of Kazan, noted.
The bridge will unload traffic at several streets at once: Tankovaya, Tatarstana and Nazarbayeva.
The construction length of the facility was 436.5 m. Landscaping was carried out along the bridge, a lawn was sown and trees were planted, 60 LED lamps were installed. The estimated speed on the bridge will be 70 km/h.
For reference, the reconstruction of the facility began in 2019after an emergency condition of the bridge was revealed. At first, restrictions were imposed on the movement of heavy vehicles, and last year the pedestrian part was dismantled. In the course of constant observations, a dangerous deformation of the structure was recorded due to subsidence of the soil, and the bridge was completely closed to traffic at the end of September 2022.
