Road Structures

TRAFFIC VOLUMES on Gran Canaria, the third largest of the Canary Islands, have been swelling rapidly in recent years, not least because of the boom in tourism. Among the routes most affected is the 32km long northern motorway GC-2 between Las Palmas and Agaëte, which has reached the limits of its capacity.

AT 1.38KM LONG, the new €213 million Hardanger Bridge crossing Hardangerfjord, Norway's second largest fjord, will be the country's longest suspension bridge. The structure, designed by Norway's Forum Arkitekter, will be a new landmark with its 200m high concrete towers and steel construction.

Highway road tunnels and inter-city vehicle underpasses are vital components of an essential busy highways network. Keeping them clean is essential. Road tunnels and vehicle underpasses require a specific strength of light. Too bright, and the lamps or lights may dazzle or distract drivers, and too dim the tunnel can seem claustrophobic and daunting, as well as increasing dangers from obstructions and other hazards.
