Dala Bridge bans undercrossing in designated area during form traveller dismantling
THE Myanmar Ports Authority issued a
mariners' notice to avoid crossing under the bridge within the designated area
while the form traveller is being removed from the Myanmar-Korea Friendship
(Dala) Bridge Project.
The form traveller, which was used in
the installation of steel cables, is scheduled to be dismantled on 17-20
September.
"The bridge will undergo the
process of dismantling the form traveller from 8 am on 17 September to 8 am on
18 September, and from 8 am on 19 September to 8 am on 20 September. So, a
mariner's notice is issued to avoid undercrossing in the area designated in
paragraph 3," the MPA said.
The installation of steel suspension
cables at the Myanmar-Korea Friendship Bridge (Dala) project was completed at
the end of August, and the removal of the form traveller.
Buoys with radar reflectors installed on
both upper and lower river sides of the pillars can be traced easily with a
radar system, and they have been placed according to the coordinates for safe
crossing.
The bridge is 160 feet high and 998 feet
wide, allowing the passage of ocean liners and local large vessels, and
approach roads and ramps are constructed in accordance with international
standards. — Htun Htun/ZN
