Žilina Motorway Feeder, left-bank road, Stage I, Works 2 - Bridge over the    River Váh near Teplička

The structure bridges the River Váh on the II/583 road, ramps for envisaged roads, and a wildlife corridor. Constructed with use of a single-cell, continuous bearing structure of pre-stressed concrete developed in stages on a supporting scaffold over the riverbed, the bridge was concreted by the free cantilever concreting method using temporary stud supports. The work has 4 spans with span lengths of 24, 36, 82, and 60 m. The bearing structure is a four-span, continuous, celled beam; its height ranges from 1.75 to 5.75 m. It was made of ex post pre-stressed cast-in-place concrete; the concreting made use, to some extent, a scaffold; the free cantilever concreting method was applied. Bridge length is 222.65 m.
