PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The bridge facility selected by the Government of Argentina to integrate the Mesopotamia Provinces and the rest of the nation was the Rosario-Victoria Bridge, named after the two provincial capitals it would directly link (Rosario is the capital city of Santa Fe Province and Victoria is the capital city of Entre Rios Province). The bridge forms part of a multi-lane roadway that extends for 37 miles in the northeastern part of Argentina.

The selected deign concept called for lengthy column-supported approaches linked by a cable-stay bridge with a main center span of 1,083 feet and a clearance of 165 feet over the Paraná River Valley. The bridge used twin towers with cables supporting the outer edges of the bridge deck on either side of the towers. Exhibit 4.14 shows the completed cable-stayed bridge and approach ways.
