Introduction
The Southern Bridge is presently the biggest construction project in Latvia and its capital city - Riga
The presentations topic is connected with my future profession
This topic mentions a problem of crisis and building in my country.
Project of the Bridge
The task of the bridge is to ensure the traffic flow between the south-western part of Pardaugava and the areas of Riga’s right bank – Latgales and Vidzemes suburbs, Ziemeļu district, without crossing the city centre and thus reducing congestion. The bridge will also allow transit traffic to go around the city centre – in the direction of Jelgava, Bauska, Ogre, Sigulda, Saulkrasti, Vecmligravis and Carnikava.

The guyed bridge system allows the distance between the bridge piers to be considerably increased, thus making the bridge visually much more attractive. …
