The works on the first viaduct designed by Ponting Bridges on the second section of the third development axis North are progressing well. Construction of the viaduct began in July 2023, and is expected to be completed in August 2024. We are in charge for the design of several viaducts within a consultant team consortium with companies Lineal, BPI, IRGO Consulting and others, on the 17.5 km long section of the so-called northern third development highway axis, from Velenje to Slovenj Gradec.The Škalsko jezero viaduct will run above the roundabout, the connecting road and the cycle path. It will cross the roundabout about 5 m above the final ground level. The viaduct consists of two independent structures 105 m long and with spans of 18 + 3 x 23 + 18 m. It is built using the traditional cast-in-situ method of construction. The works are being carried out by Strabag.
The northern third development highway axis will establish a new connection from the north to the southeastern part of Slovenia (in the direction from Austrian to the Croatian border).
