Saint-Petersburg bridges are ready for navigation season of 2021
“Our famous bridges do not only decorate the city, they are also a part of crucial traffic arteries. Ships sailing along the Volga-Baltic Waterway pass the Neva river. Therefore, their good working order and smooth operation is our strategic task”, said Aleksandr Beglov.
Over the internavigation period, Mostotrest specialists conducted maintenance of mechanisms, replaced the worn out components and adjusted all the systems including hydraulic, mechanical and electric ones. From March 16, they conducted some 50 technological lifting operations needed for final adjustment of systems after repair, modernization and replacement works as well as repair and maintenance of the movable span. Mostotrest has also prepared its crafts: some boats, a diving ship, a floating base for surveys and repair of bridges, etc.
There are 18 draw bridges in Saint-Petersburg.
