The construction of Kocaeli's longest single-span modern overpass, which is currently underway at the İzmit Solaklar Junction, has been completed by 75 percent.
The steel construction manufacturing works of Kocaeli's longest single-span overpass, which the Metropolitan Municipality started to build at the İzmit Solaklar Junction, continue at full speed. 75 percent of the overpass has been completed.
BECOMING MORE SAFER
Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality continues to make city transportation uninterrupted and safe with important touches. In this context, Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality, which has completed and put into service the “Yeşilova Solaklar Overpass Project” that also makes the traffic flow on Kandıra Road uninterrupted, is implementing a second project in order to make pedestrian crossings in the region safer. 75 percent of Kocaeli’s longest single-span modern overpass, which is under construction at İzmit Solaklar Intersection, has been completed. The metropolitan municipality aims to make the region one of the most modern crossing points of the city with the overpass under construction.
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING PROBLEM WILL BE SOLVED
The construction of the overpass, which was started as a steel construction by the Metropolitan Municipality Department of Technical Affairs, continues at full speed. Kocaeli's longest single-span overpass, which has a single span of 63 meters and a total of 70 meters, will also have disabled elevators on both legs. The reinforced concrete and steel manufacturing of the modern overpass, which will cost approximately 46 million 185 thousand TL, is ongoing. The pedestrian overpass with disabled elevator, whose opposite legs and stairs have been manufactured, will completely solve the ongoing pedestrian crossing problem in the region. The project, which is 75 percent physically completed, is planned to be completed and put into service as soon as possible, weather conditions permitting.
STEEL MANUFACTURING CONTINUES WITH HIGH QUALITY
The steel construction manufacturing of the pedestrian overpass, which was started to contribute to the transportation infrastructure in the city, continues meticulously. While the work progresses with the intense efforts of the teams in the workshop and construction area, it is aimed to present the overpass to the use of citizens in a safe and comfortable way. In the manufacturing process, modern construction techniques and high-quality materials will be used to ensure the durability and longevity of the overpass.
MODERN URBANIZATION CONCEPTION
With the completion of the overpass at the Solaklar Junction, citizens in Solaklar and Yeşilova will be able to cross safely. Thus, the long-standing pedestrian crossing problem of the region will be eliminated with a modern urbanism approach, and a safe and comfortable service will be provided to citizens. Within the scope of the project, there will be elevators on both legs of the overpass. The overpass was designed especially for the use of disabled individuals and those with children.
