Reconstruction of the bridge behind Poprad in the direction of Spišská Teplica

As part of the improvement and modernization of the road infrastructure of the Poprad district, reconstruction work continues on the M3373 bridge (No. 3065-001), which is an important road link between the city of Poprad and the village of Spišská Teplica.

The construction work, which aims to eliminate the identified defects and malfunctions on the 57-year-old bridge, consists of:

• demolition of the existing supporting structure of the bridge

• building a new supporting structure of the bridge from prefabricated beams placed on elastomeric bearings

• protection and relaying of take-off electrical equipment

• reconstruction of the road, which includes leveling the cover and the establishment of an abrasive asphalt layer, including the application of bonding spray and horizontal traffic markings

During the implementation of the construction works, which will last until July 2023, traffic restrictions in the form of a partial road closure apply on the given section. The traffic, which is conducted in both directions alternately in one lane, is regulated by portable traffic signs using light signaling. Road users must also expect a reduced permitted speed of 30 km/h.

The financing of this building, the total cost of which is more than €431,000, is provided from the resources of the Prešov self-governing region.
