AV/AC NAPOLI-BARI Arch Bridge in metal carpentry designed by Italferr on the railway line that connects the cities of the hinterland, Naples, and Caserta with the High Capacity line to Bari, through the Afragola station. The structural type adopted for the bridge is that of a Langer beam (or thrust-free arch) with a lower deck with 2 tracks at a 4m center distance. The bridge is a single-span simply supported beam with a span of 80 m consisting of 2 box arches and a chord made up of 2 open double T beams. The overall height of the steel structure is approximately 22 m.
DOUBLING OF FIUMEFREDDO-GIAMPILIERI LINE Railway bridge over the Alcantara river, the new metal arch infrastructure designed by Italferr, with its 120 m length will become the longest single-span railway bridge in Italy. The work, included in the AV/AC Palermo-Messina-Catania itinerary, in the TEN-T Scandinavia-Mediterranean Corridor, has been identified as a priority and included among the strategic works of the 'Sblocca Italia' law. The structural work consists of two braced opposing arches, the deck in metal carpentry (chain), and 21+21 steel hangers.
DOUBLING OF THE PADUA-CASTELFRANCO LINE - Railway bridge over the Brenta river, the new metal arch infrastructure, with its 100 meters in length, will become the longest single-span railway bridge in Italy. The interventions will increase the line's capacity by 25%, improving the frequency and regularity of both passenger and freight services and enhancing international connections towards the East from Padova Interporto and Bologna. Italferr performs the functions of Project Management and Works Management.
INDIA Anji Khad Bridge, with an overall length of 772 m, of which 473 m is a cable-stayed bridge, crosses the Anji river, located on the Katra-Banihal section of the Udhampur Srinagar-Baramulla railway line in the State of Jammu & Kashmir. The work, for which Italferr handled the Design and Works Management, is among the most significant of the entire railway line that will cross the North-Western region of India, along the slopes of Kashmir, up to the border with Pakistan. Considering the characteristic of the Anji river, which flows in a deep gorge with sub-vertical walls, the Company proposed the solution of the cable-stayed bridge with an asymmetrical layout, with a main span of 290m and a single tower 190 m high located on the more accessible side.
MILANO-BOLOGNA Cable-stayed Bridge over the Po River, the construction of which was supervised by Italferr, constitutes a world record of its kind, it being made entirely of concrete and serving an HS line with a design speed of 350 km/h. The 400 m long bridge, divided into three large spans and fixed with 72 stays of differentiated length and inclination, constitutes the central part of a 1400 m viaduct with which the Milan-Bologna railway line crosses the main banks of the Po River in the provinces of Lodi and Piacenza. The viaduct constitutes the largest river-crossing system in Italy, linking Lombardy and Emilia Romagna and representing one of the most significant works in the European network.
GENOA San Giorgio Bridge designed by Italferr with the most advanced technologies and unusual engineering solutions. The bridge has reinforced concrete piers of elliptical section with a constant pitch of 50 m except for 3 spans, for which the spacing increases to 100 m. The main deck consists of a 1,067 m long truss with 19 spans. The bridge features important technological content that enhances its architecture and sustainability in terms of energy, ensuring a high degree of safety and durability.
ROMANIA Calafat-Vidin Bridge, the "New Europe Bridge" is a 4-lane road and rail link, approximately 1,300 meters wide and almost 2 km long, crossing the Danube to join the cities of Calafat in Romania and Vidin in Bulgaria. Italferr provided technical assistance and supervision of works during construction, along with all necessary technical design adjustments. The new bridge is part of the Pan-European Transport Corridor, which that connects the German city of Dresden to the Turkish metropolis of Istanbul thereby allowing rapid interconnection to the major European transport corridors.
TORINO-MILANO Arch Bridge, lower deck on the Naviglio Grande, Turin-Milan section, consists of two steel arches with an open double T section lying on vertical and parallel planes, with a center distance of 13.72 m; the distance between the supports is 47.7 m, the rise at the key of the arch is 12 m. The deck, with an overall length of 14.92 m, consists of a grid of crossbeams and stringers. The work repeats the design of the classic thrust-free arch bridges, used by railways since the first constructions.
SYRIA Railway bridge on the Tabeje-al Bookamal line over the Euphrates river, consisting of 5 metal spans of lattice type with a lower deck closed at the top. Italferr provided technical assistance during the construction in the workshop, assembly, launching, and testing of the work. The single-track route has been designed at the level of piers and abutments to accommodate the future doubling of the line.
BOLOGNA-VERONA Bridge over the Po River, between Ostiglia and Revere, is an infrastructure on the Bologna-Verona line that crosses the river between the stations of Ostiglia and Poggio Rusco, in the province of Mantua. The bridge joins the two banks of the Po, spanning a distance of about 500 meters in a straight line. Weighing 12,652 tonnes, the bridge is made of steel and concrete, consisting of 12 metal trusses with a lower span having two lengths (73.6 and 64.4 metres), a width of 6.6 metres and an average weight of 550 tonnes each, resting on concrete pillars built into the riverbed.
SERBIA Zezely Bridge crosses over the Danube River at the city of Novi Sad. The bridge, whose preliminary and detailed design was developed by Italferr, features two steel arches 470 meters long and about 32 meters wide. Inaugurated in 2018, the new bridge enables the movement of road and rail traffic on two tracks and two lanes between the city of Novi Sad and the opposite bank dominated by the Petrovaradin Fortress.
BOLOGNA-VENEZIA Metal Bridge, located on the A14, a double-track curved lower deck of the triangular mesh type. It weighs a total of 840 tons and is divided into 14 fields, each 5.382 meters long. The new railway junction intersects the A14 motorway axis at an angle of about 35°. The strong obliquity and the need to maintain a clear span of 58 meters over the motorway without inserting piers into the carriageways led to the design choice of a main metal carpentry beam with a span of 75.35 meters. The deck is of the oblique type and has been designed for a maximum speed of 160 km/h.
BOLOGNA-FIRENZE Arch Bridge over the Sieve river. The limited height of the rail level compared to the watercourse necessitated the adoption of the classic thrust-free arch solution. The bridge has a span of 75 m and consists of two steel box-section arches lying on oblique planes converging upwards and a mixed steel and concrete deck; the chains are also of inspectable box section. The distance between the supports is 75 m, the rise is 16 m, and the maximum width of the bridge is about 19 m.
