Bende Idima Abam Bridge

Construction is progressing steadily on the Kedmor designed Bende Idima Abam Bridge in Abia State, Nigeria.

The project involves a 45 m long bridge composed of three 15 m spans. The bridge is designed as an integral structure, offering enhanced durability and reduced maintenance requirements over its service life.

The piling phase, including drilling and casting of all piles, has been successfully completed. The contractor is currently carrying out the casting of the intermediate pier columns, while works on the pile caps are being finalized in preparation for the upcoming superstructure phase.

Aleto Bridges

Progress continues on the Aleto Bridges project over the Aleto River in Nigeria.

These twin bridges are designed as cast in situ, post-tensioned concrete structures, built using the balanced cantilever method.

Each bridge is 160m long divided into 3 spans, with a maximum span of 80m, and consist of single hollow box girders.

The contractor has successfully completed the substructure works for both bridges.

Construction has now advanced to the superstructure phase, with the first segments being cast and post-tensioned at the intermediate piers.

Annual Office Trip

Last Thursday, we took a break from our daily routine for a company trip — great food, great company, and plenty of good energy.

We began with a culinary tour of the vibrant Ramla Market, then continued to Lod, visiting one of our key ongoing projects — the twin railway bridges, which form a part of Israel Railways’ Eastern Line.

On site, Natalie Yehuda, Omer Tsur, Gal Edri, and Amir Kedar presented the project and guided us through the design and construction of two semi-integral, post-tensioned bridges, built using the Top-Down method under a particularly tight schedule — an impressive achievement by all involved.

We ended the day with a lavish late lunch and a beer-making workshop at Beer Bazaar Brewery in Kfar Daniel.

Aleto & Onne Bridges – East West Road Project, Nigeria

Progress on the Aleto & Onne Bridges – East West Road Project, Nigeria

The Aleto and Onne bridges are key components of the East West Road, a major transportation corridor designed to improve connectivity, trade, and mobility across southern Nigeria.

These structures feature advanced segmental construction using the Form Traveler system, enabling precise execution over challenging terrain and ensuring durability under demanding environmental conditions.

Following the recent site visits, the project continues to highlight the capabilities of modern bridge engineering and the importance of seamless coordination between design, supervision, and construction teams. Appreciation to the site crews for their professionalism and dedication in advancing this landmark infrastructure.
