A3 Bettembourg Ecoduct
Category
The 72-metre long, 51-metre wide wildlife crossing spans the A3 motorway
Félix Giorgetti has constructed the ecoduct which crosses the future railway track and the A3 motorway as part of the new Luxembourg - Bettembourg link
72m long and 51m wide, the structure is composed of one pile and two abutments. Its load-bearing structure over the highway is made of mixed girders (metal and concrete), with coated girders spanning the railway line.
The work was carried out with minimal impact on traffic. The installation over the motorway of the 19 beams, 42m long and weighing 72t, required a complete shutdown of the road over two weekends.
