The Budapest-Belgrade line is part, and the first stage, of the planned international railway connection Budapest-Belgrade-Skopje-Athens and is currently one of the largest investment and infrastructure construction sites in the eastern part of Europe. PERI supported the construction of the Čortanovci Viaduct on the Serbian section between Stara Pazova and Novi Sad - and in addition to intensive on-site support, also provided cleverly combinable system solutions based on the modular principle. From Budapest to Belgrade in just three and a half hours: The railway line stretches some 350 km across the Serbian-Hungarian border. Until now, travellers had to put up with a whole eight hours to get to their destination - but that is soon to change. The immense modernisation project, which is divided into a total of three sections, is scheduled for completion as early as 2023. One of the bigger challenges on this route was the Čortanovci Viaduct, which is located within the second, approximately 40.00 km long section between Stara Pazova and Novi Sad. As part of the double-track, open railway line, the viaduct covers a total length of 2.90 km and is supported by a total of 59 columns. Approval to start the project, which is divided into five construction phases A to E, was given in November 2017. PERI provided significant on-site support for the construction of the two sections B and C, each 642.00 m long. Clever system combination based on the modular principle Both sections B and C were constructed using the same methodology in principle: Starting from the delta pier in the middle, concrete was poured simultaneously to the left and right.
