A NEW ACCESS POINT FOR A NEW LOGISTICS ZONE
16th february 2021

The construction of the Dunkerque Logistique International (DLI) South structure and service road, which began in December 2020, is making swift progress. Once completed, it will facilitate the crossing of the Loon-Plage railway complex and will directly link up to the multi-modal DLI South platform from the Continents roundabout.

With a total cost of €2.8m, the work is comprised of:

·         A railway-crossing structure made up of a three-span reinforced concrete bridge, with 2 piers and 2 abutments. Measuring 51 metres long and 17.2 metres tall, it features 2 lanes for traffic, 1 lane which will eventually be used exclusively by driverless vehicles between the container terminals and the DLI South platform, and 2 pavements.

·         2 access ramps to the bridge measuring 820m, backfilled with sand.

·         A new road measuring 820 metres long and 8 metres tall, which joins up to the Continents roundabout and the already-completed DLI South service road.

·         A technical corridor allowing access to the gas, water and electricity networks, built into both the access ramps and the deck of the structure.

The Port of Dunkirk’s Development and Environment Management teams will oversee the execution of the work.

It is expected to be completed by July 2021.
