# Behind the Scenes: Educational Visit to the SIR 3 Tramway Project

_Recently, colleagues from the Infrastructure Department at SYSTRA S.p.A. had
the opportunity to participate in an insightful educational visit to the
construction site of the SIR 3 urban tramway line in Padua, which links the RFI
Station to the Voltabarozzo terminus. As part of a temporary consortium of
companies involved in the project, SYSTRA is responsible for overseeing the
supervision of works and managing safety coordination during the execution
phase.
The visit highlighted the impressive push-launching of a steel bridge, a
groundbreaking initiative in Italy to promote sustainable mobility.

_The tramway line will feature a rubber-tired guided transport system, spanning
approximately 5.5 km with 13 stops and 2 termini, along with a depot and
interchange parking. This remarkable bridge measures 89.60 meters in span and
stands 12.05 meters tall, with a deck width of 13.65 meters. The launch process
required meticulous movements of just 3 cm per minute, utilizing hollow jacks
and 36mm Dywidag bars, with precise positioning taking two weeks to achieve.
Designed to improve neighbourhood accessibility, the project includes trams
running in both directions, a 3-meter cycle-pedestrian path, and a 2-meter
pedestrian path, contributing to safer travel for cyclists and pedestrians
alike.
