The great Salah Bey viaduct
The SALAH BEY Viaduct in Constantine is an achievement which will be part of Algeria's great modern achievements in terms of large-scale works of art. This large viaduct, commissioned on July 26, 2014, will:
- Support current and future travel by ultimately ensuring rapid drainage of traffic from the city center to the East/West Highway.
- Replace the Sidi Rached bridge, in the event of its failure.
- Connect the East bank and the West bank overlooking the Rhumel gorges, the RN 3 and the railway line.
This structuring project represents a milestone in the history of major works of art built in Algeria, while making it possible to modernize the city of Constantine and improve travel.
It should be noted that this project was entrusted for study and implementation within the framework of bilateral cooperation with Brazil, following the visit of His Excellency the President of the Republic Abdelaziz BOUTEFLIKA, to the Wilaya of Constantine on April 16, 2007.
The Transrhumel viaduct, is of exceptional design (stayed bridge crossing the Wadi Rhumel), located in an urban site and built on slopes of geological and geotechnical complexity, tested the study and construction capacities to meet the challenge by adopting solutions that meet the technical requirements, which constitutes a technological challenge.
Given the conditions of this site, this work is accompanied by a surveillance system to monitor its behavior throughout its existence.
