Cartagena Viaducto Del Manglar

Cartagena Viaducto Del Manglar

The Viaducto del Manglar project is a 5.3 km bridge spanning the Ciénaga de la Virgen (swamp), north of Cartagena, Colombia. The project aims to reduce traffic congestion when exiting the city in the Zona Norte (Northern Area).

The viaduct, scheduled to open in 2018, is part of a longer highway project linking Cartagena with Barranquilla.

For this project in Colombia, Dextra has been supplying contractor Rizzani de Eccher with Rolltec® rebar couplers and Headed Bars. Rebar preparation operations have been carried out by Dextra’s distributor in Colombia.

Headed Bars were used in precast caissons, installed beneath the bridge girders, to reduce steel congestion in the heavily reinforced steel cages.
