Cemex supplies durable mix for Czech motorway bridges
Cemex has supplied a specialist concrete mix for the bridge structures of a new 10.4 km motorway section between Hořice and Sadová in the Czech Republic.
Designed to withstand harsh winter conditions, the mix offers enhanced resistance to frost and de-icing salts, helping ensure durability and long-term structural performance.
More than 1,200 m³ of concrete was placed across two coordinated night pours, supported by over 80 truck mixer trips from two batching plants. Two concrete pumps were deployed with loads carefully sequenced to minimise thermal stress during placement.
The motorway section includes four major bridges, with the final bridge now completed. Finishing works are under way, and the route remains on schedule for opening in December 2025. Construction is being led by a consortium of EUROVIA CZ, M Silnice and Stavby mostů, commissioned by the Czech Road and Motorway Directorate.
Cemex said the project demonstrates its ability to combine technical expertise with reliable supply logistics for complex infrastructure.
The development is part of wider efforts to modernise transport networks across the Czech Republic, a market where UK-based engineers and contractors often share knowledge and supply chain links on major European infrastructure projects.
