Abstract

The aim of this paper is to inform about the steel superstructures of a bridge located on a highway D1, section Jabloňov - Studenec, 1,650th km. It is the longest bridge (length approx. 670 m) among the seven bridges on this highway section. The bridge is situated in an area of many significant historical listed objects such as Levoča city, Spiš castle and Spiš canonry. This fact was considered whilst designing the architectural appearance of the bridge in the very first phase of the whole design - in this phase the bridge was being solved as disposing of an upper bridge deck supported by arches reminding gothic structures of this region. The structural solution of this bridge, the used materials and the realization procedure are described in this paper.
