Overview
- The city says demolition and replacement will proceed, with planning already underway and only limited scope to bring the schedule forward, according to public works chief Rudolf Kucera.
- Motor traffic is rerouted via Am Europakanal, Breslauer Straße and the Graf-Stauffenberg-Brücke to the Südwesttangente, microcars may use the Forsthausbrücke, and pedestrians and cyclists are directed along Vestner Weg, Kellerweg and the Main-Danube Canal path.
- Inspections and deflection measurements will continue at shortened intervals, and a sensitive monitoring system will be installed to manage risks for traffic passing below on the Südwesttangente.
- Earlier weight and height limits were repeatedly ignored, leading to collisions and more than €100,000 in repair costs, the city reports.
- Traffic impacts are expected to be significant, with local reports estimating roughly 20,000 daily vehicle crossings now diverted.
