Twenty years have passed since the launch of the road bridge over the Irtysh River in Tobolsk. From the high bank, the townspeople looked at the panorama of the construction of the 650-meter bridge unfolding below and then waited impatiently for its completion and opening for many years. It is one of the most significant objects of TF "Mostootryad-87". At that time, the company was headed by I.P. Nechta, it was under his leadership that a unique structure was erected.
"The grandiose construction began in April 1983, – the current head Leonid Gubko. – However, for two years – from the 87th to the 89th – there was a break in the work. It is connected with the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl accident. At that time, one Kurganstalmost plant produced special superstructures in the USSR. His products went to Chernobyl. In general, it was not up to Tobolsk…
There were various abnormal situations during work – both interruptions with equipment, and flooding of the pit. However, by the third year of construction, the detachment already numbered 480 people, was equipped with good machinery and equipment, eight auto and crawler cranes, besides, new dump trucks had just been received. The first and second supports were completed on the bridge. A pile shell with a diameter of 1.6 meters was submerged to a 40-meter depth, later two more supports were put into operation. The work was in full swing and was completed on September 30, 1991 at the stage of a sound and reliable construction."
