Irtysh River Bridge Construction Project

Semipalatinsk City - Kazakstan

Irtysh River Bridge Construction Project, consisting of a suspension bridge, approach and access roads at both banks together with large and small structures in Semipalatinsk City, is tendered by East Kazakhstan Oblast Akim Apparat to Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI) of Japan. The project is financed through a loan agreement entered in between the Republic of Kazakstan and the OECF (now JBIC) of Japanese Government. The main structures of the Project are Irtysh River Bridge, a suspension bridge with 750 m. main span and 2 x 168 m. approach viaducts. The bridge carries 2 x 3 lane carriageway, each lane being 3.75 m. wide. This bridge is gracious and fully monumental, commemorating the independence of the Republic of Kazakstan and representing the glorious future of the city of Semipalatinsk. The bridge has been completed in a remarkably short construction period (29 months).

On the left bank of the river, approach road of 800 m. length connects the bridge to the left roundabout which crosses existing railway by two underpass bridges. Left approach road also contains a trumpet type interchange with an underpass bridge and toll plaza with operation and maintenance buildings. The road extends from the roundabout to the junction of National Road in the direction of Almaty, inner city road to the pantoon bridge and connection road to the Semet Airport by 2060 m. length access road. Furthermore about 440 m. length of Airport connection road is improved to cross existing railway by underpass bridges. On the right bank of the river, 700 m. length approach road which contains a trumpet type interchange with an underpass bridge connects the main bridge to the right roundabout. A frontage road of 700 m. in length connects a main street to approach road road by that interchange. The road extends from the roundabout to the junction of Omsk Road and Novosibirk Road to the Siberia Region of Russia by 2390 m. length access road.

The main services given by TEK-YEN within the Project Scope are:

  • Preliminary and Detail Designs

  • Sand Blasting and Painting the Suspension Bridge

  • Water Proofing works for decks of the Suspension Bridge and Viaducts
