Execution of Repair Works on the Trogir –Čiovo Island Bridge

Abstract:

The paper presents the execution of repair works of the movable bridge conducted by Spegra, a company specialized in the restoration and reconstruction of various types of structures. The Trogir - Čiovo Island bridge is located on the Croatian coast near the historic city of Trogir. The bridge spans a narrow sea strait, connecting the city of Trogir with the nearby Čiovo Island. It was built in 1962 as a movable bridge with a structure consisting of steel and reinforced concrete elements with a stone cladding. The bridge has three spans, with a total length of 102 meters including approaches. The central movable span structure is an arch steel construction, while the other two are reinforced concrete arches. The bridge restoration works are divided into three groups. The first group: dismantling, restoration, and assembly of the steel span structure and expansion joint steel elements. The second group: restoration of reinforced concrete elements: roadway slabs, pedestrian walkways, arches, and the interior of caissons. The third group: restoration of the stone cladding of the bridge. All works were conducted in cooperation with the Conservation Department of the city of Trogir.
