Overview
- The bridge, which entered a partial closure Thursday, now blocks the direct outbound access between Josephinenstraße and Ammonstraße.
- Inbound traffic can still cross on one lane, and walking and cycling remain allowed.
- Public transit shifts as DVB bus 62 diverts and the Josephinenstraße stop toward Plauen is suspended.
- City inspectors found the typical damage pattern of brittle prestressing steel at two spots during recent checks, following May 8 lane cuts and a 7.5-ton weight limit.
- Officials plan permanent reinforcement to keep the bridge usable for about ten more years, and they have not given a timeline for reopening.
