The Valenciennes Bowstring is a 2-kilometer-long bridge construction project that will connect the Saint-Saulve roundabout with the Bruay-sur-l’Escaut roundabout (North). It features a 76-meter-long bowstring bridge, a double-girder engineering structure, a pedestrian footbridge, and a wildlife passage.

Dextra, in collaboration with its local partner, Freyssinet, supplied a tension rod system as a hanger for the bowstring arch bridge on the bypass, ensuring the structure’s stability.

The tension rod system is renowned not only for its high performance but also for its customizable parameters, including design load, surface finish, and corrosion resistance, to meet all technical and aesthetic project requirements.
