The drone is equipped with extra light so that the inspection can be carried out in the dark. We’re also taking advantage of there being no traffic to test whether drones can carry out inspections of the east bridge’s large hangers. There will also be scope to test the use of drones for inspection at night. A total of 222 variable boards will be set up during the autumn, and new cameras will also be installed to monitor traffic and support safe traffic flow.
#TIMEWORKS MOBILE UPGRADE#
Some of the night-time work will be to prepare the erection of electronic traffic signs as part of the overall upgrade of signage and traffic management on the bridge. At the same time, it also improves safety for the employees working on the bridge. On Friday nights, traffic will run in two directions on the southern lanes of the high bridge, so there will be a traffic-free area on the northern section of the bridge.Ī/S Storebælt will use this time to carry out a number of repairs and maintenance work, which would otherwise have meant several closures if the work was to be carried out separately and during the day. Night-time work is safer and reduces closures during the day The purpose is to disperse queues more quickly in the event of an accident and improve safety on the Storebælt Bridge, both for road users and for employees carrying out ongoing maintenance on the bridge. Overnight between Thursday and Friday this week, new mobile overhead cables will be used to carry out a substantial amount of maintenance work on the eastern side of the Storebælt Bridge during the night.Įarlier this year, cables were mounted on the Storebælt Bridge as part of a comprehensive safety package, based on the latest technology in the field.
