ralph swallow on Crossrail | Push to open by March risks delaying full Elizabeth line service: РІР‚ВSurely if testing started in November last year, and central.Work was stopped on the cable stay for two months. Construction cost was Р’Р€550M.Р”Р„ fatal accident in April 1996 on Campenon Bernard's 620m long cable stayed Expo viaduct section, when moveable falsework collapsed, left six people dead and nine seriously injured (NCE 17 April 1997). In three years the contractors built an 800m span cable stayed bridge, two 120m span secondary navigation channel glued segmental bridges and 10km of viaduct. Twelve kilometres of the crossing is over tidal water. The Vasca da Gama bridge is a key part of a fast route round Lisbon to the Algarve. Lusoponte is confident its target of 2.25bn vehicles crossing the bridges will be hit. A European Cohesion Fund loan of Р’Р€223M is the final piece in the funding jigsaw. Toll revenues from both crossings will pay back a 20 year bank loan of Р’Р€214.5M and provide a dividend to shareholders who contributed Р’Р€18.5M of equity. Lusoponte agreed to build, maintain and operate the new crossing and maintain the existing 25 April bridge for the 33 year concession period. Kvrner and Campenon Bernard each have a 24.8% stake in Lusoponte and 23% stake in Novaponte. Another company, Novaponte, acted as contractor. Lusoponte was set up by the consortium to act as client and operator of the bridge. Six Portuguese companies took smaller stakes. The consortium which won the 33 year concession from the Portuguese government was led by the UK's Kvrner and Campenon Bernard of France.

The date has been so vital because Vasco da Gama is an important transport link to the Expo exhibition which opens in June. The scheme had to finish within three months of 31 March 1998 or the whole concession would be void. Traffic will flow over the Vasco da Gama bridge the same afternoon, paying a return toll of Escudos 320 (Р’Р€1.20), and the crossing will start earning revenue for the pan-European private sector consortium which has invested Р’Р€800M in its construction (NCE 20 March 1997).Р”В¬ompletion date has been more critical on this job than on just about any other construction project. On Sunday Portuguese president Jorge Sampaio is scheduled to open the second Tagus crossing in Lisbon two days ahead of its planned completion date.
