R1 Nová Baňa - bypass1997 - 2005

The road is located in the River Hron alluvial plain and is generally in close concurrence with the watercourse. The route design respected the requirements of the agricultural authorities. Together with other structures, the road forms a dyke to protect arable land and the adjacent settlement areas from floods. The bypass route crosses a large amount of utilities, both underground and overhead systems with the urban area of the town of Nová Baňa harbouring the highest number. The structure is found at the crossing/concurrence with the Kozárovce - Zvolen Slovak Railway line, in the track’s buffer zone. The objective of the work was to increase the traffic safety and flow while reducing the noise and dust levels in the town of Nová Baňa.
