Dresden Leaves Carolabrücke Rubble Mound in Elbe as Temporary Measure

Low water levels required temporary storage to reopen the shipping fairway for the city festival.

Overview

  • The demolition of the Carolabrücke is largely complete, but a debris pile remains in the river as an interim solution.
  • The mound lies toward the right Elbe bank within the fairway where officials say it does not impede vessel traffic.
  • The temporary placement was coordinated with the Waterways and Shipping Office Elbe.
  • Removal to a final interim site under the downstream autobahn bridge will proceed once the dredger DOMARIN has enough water under its keel.
  • Authorities have not set a date for clearing the temporary storage.
