Heavy load tests were conducted, both static and dynamic. The statistic test saw more than 60 Russian tanks, weighing 35 tonnes each, driven onto the bridge and parked in rows along the sides. Then trucks brought in 3,000 tonnes of sand and gravel. And that’s not all. After this test, the tanks were driven back and forth… a full 600 times! There were sensors hooked up to a laboratory desk to measure the impact. You want to know what the maximum sag under all that weight was? 16.5 millimetres! A mere seventh of what was allowed.
