The Viroi bridge and culvert is part of the national road SH4, leading to the Kakavijë border crossing, the main road connection corridor to Greece. Traffic on this section is important with more than 6,000 vehicles per day, and there is no obvious local alternative route in case the bridge is closed. The bridge often experiences traffic disruptions during the rainy season due to flooding, as the current culvert’s discharge capacity is insufficient.
The works will include the construction of a new bridge and culvert, on a new road alignment, in order to increase hydraulic capacity, restore the load carrying capacity of the structure and avoid the risk of sudden interruptions of the roads due to flooding. Besides, reconstruction will result in improved road alignment and wider cross section, increasing road safety and comfort for motorized and nonmotorized traffic. The new bridge that will be constructed is designed as a concrete structure with two spans measuring 2x16.50m and a width of 12.0m
The scope of work will be: To carry out supervision of Civil Works for the construction of Viroi bridge during their implementation stage to ensure compliance with the approved design, drawings, specifications, conditions of contract and sound engineering, road safety, etc practices and project environmental, social, and health and safety (ESHS) requirements.
