Overview

• SachsenEnergie will install a provisional drinking-water pipeline through the bridge to maintain supply until the new Carolabrücke is built.
• The inbound carriageway will be fully closed nightly from 19:00 to 05:00, with motorists from Neustadt diverted via the Albertbrücke along a signed route.
• Pedestrian and cycle access inbound will be restricted during the works and fully closed on the weekend, with bike detours signposted via the Augustusbrücke.
• Crews will simultaneously lay cables for a new 110-kilovolt section linking the Räcknitz and Klotzsche substations as part of a 14-kilometre upgrade for rising demand.
• The temporary main is needed because two remaining lines have been compensating since the collapse and one must be taken offline for renovation in summer 2026; some work will be open-trench.
