The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works announces that, on 9 December 2022, the Department of Public Works issued a tender for the project "Upgrade/Repair of Kalavasos Bridge on the Nicosia - Limassol Motorway" with No. PS/C/770.
The existing Kalavasos Bridge is located on the Nicosia - Limassol Motorway (A1) at milepost 53+200, in the direction from Nicosia to Limassol. The Kalavasos Bridge consists of two six-span structures, each 122 m long, through which the respective directions of the motorway are served.
The project concerns the upgrade and repair of the existing bridge in order to meet the provisions of the increased vehicle loads and seismic loading foreseen by the Eurocodes, as well as the extension of its "lifetime".
The construction works include, inter alia, traffic management, excavation, strengthening of foundations, piers, beams, replacement of expansion joints and spans, reconstruction of part of the deck, parapets and approach slabs, waterproofing and protection, road paving and related works.
The bridge deck work will be performed sequentially on the two spans of the Kalavasos Bridge with a duration of 15 weeks for each and will require the closure of the respective direction. During the works, traffic will be regulated, with one available lane per direction, on the unaffected bearer.
The Project is funded by the Republic of Cyprus.
The tender submission date was set for February 3, 2022.
The duration of the project will be 80 weeks.
The cost of the project is estimated at €3.840.000 + VAT (€4.569.000).
