Client: Wicklow County Council
Project: N11 Motorway
The N11 (Dublin-Wexford) road is one of the busiest road traffic routes on the East Coast. Work on the upgrading of the N11 has been ongoing since 2000, and by Spring 2004, it had cost €181.9 million. ABM Bridge Systems involvement in this major infrastructural development necessitated the construction of a road over–bridge south of Rathnew village in Co Wicklow: the over–bridge was designed to preserve access to Cuckoo Lane for local residents.
Technical challenges included the construction of arch supporting 5-6 metres of cover for the road embankment.
Technical features of note include mechanically stabilised earth, spandrel walls and wing walls.
We completed the arch installation in three days.

R3 Horna Štubňa—Bypass, new railway bridge SO201–00
Skanska recently engaged ABM to fast-track installation works and obtain cost savings for a new railway bridge carrying a single-track railway from Štubňa to Prievidza over the new R3 expressway. The original proposal was based on an in-situ concrete abutment with a temporary steel bridge deck being used with a permanent deck of steel beams cast with a concrete infill. This involved long-term restrictions on traffic on the track and two full possessions.
