<strong>Vigaun</strong> bridge<br />

For the bridge in <strong>Vigaun</strong> a total length of 78.45 m over three<br />

spans was chosen. The bridge is in a straight line over the whole<br />

length. The radius measures 25 m at the west abutment. Behind<br />

the east abutment the structure opens into a higher grade road<br />

where it widens. The railway line crosses at an angle of 74 gon<br />

and requires a clearance gauge of 7.50 m. To minimise the development<br />

length of the viaduct, a longitudinal gradient of 10%<br />

is projected on the west side and 9% on the east side. The road<br />

is 4 m wide between the curb stones, with a gradient of 2.5% to<br />

the structural axis, on account of the slight width. The inversed<br />

inclination is advantageous for vehicles, pedestrians as well as<br />

cyclists.<br />
