The Homs branch of the Syrian Building and Construction Establishment has begun the rehabilitation of the Ghranata-Kafarnan bridge over the Orontes River in the northern Homs countryside, after the structure was destroyed and taken out of service.
Location and Significance
The bridge sits between the villages of Ghranata and Kafarnan in the Rastan area, forming a key link between the Houla and Rastan regions and surrounding village clusters. It serves local residents, vehicle traffic, and the transport of agricultural produce between villages in the northern countryside.
Executing and Supervising Bodies
The project is carried out by the Homs branch of the Syrian Building and Construction Establishment, while the Homs Directorate of Technical Services studied the project and oversees its implementation.
Value and Duration
The value of the works is estimated at approximately 38 million Syrian pounds, with an execution period of about 200 days.
Work Phases
- Removal of rubble and collapsed sections around the bridge
- Construction of concrete piers and foundations
- Installation of precast beams on site
The project includes rehabilitating the bridge and carrying out the necessary engineering works to restore it to service, enabling the resumption of transport and connectivity among the surrounding villages.
