Works on Albeni passage
If in May we had informed you about completing the technical project in Albeni, behold that on September 14, works for the passage located in the vicinity of the bridge on DJ675B started. In a first stage, the contractor´s team started diverting Gilort River towards the left bank. Then, boulders and ballast were brought (which were compacted with the compactor cylinder) and the bed was reconfigured to ensure a 3% slope along the entire length of the passage and the hidden threshold was poured downstream of the passage. Slopes will also be created from the banks towards the center of the riverbed, so that the main flow of water is directed towards the center.
