Precast units make up multiple-arch Russian bridge
Dual-purpose, multiple-arch bridge that incorporates light weight, precast concrete arch sections and prestressed concrete deck is under construction over Dnieper River at Kiev; lanes are provided for motor vehicles and for railroad link in Kiev subway system; bridge elements are cast in yard on shore, floated on barges to bridge site, assembled into layer sections on river, and lifted into place with crane; project is described as "wing bridge" because vehicular roadway seems to flare out from substructure; lower level of structure, in reality, comprises twin, parallel bridges tied together by precast, prestressed (post-tensioned) cross members that add to "wing" effect by cantilevering outside vertical planes on arches.
