Police Tighten Checks on Agra Bridge as Lane Reductions Slow Markkleeberg Traffic

Officers rely on measurement technology because on‑bridge stops pose safety risks.

Overview

  • Targeted traffic controls have been intensified in recent days to enforce existing restrictions on the Agra Bridge.
  • A 3.5‑tonne through‑traffic ban is repeatedly violated, with 13 breaches recorded on both November 24 and November 27.
  • Each weight‑limit violation currently draws a €40 warning fine according to police.
  • Speed monitoring on November 27 logged 3,570 vehicles, with 59 speeding cases resulting in 56 warnings and three fines.
  • One lane in each direction has been closed for about two weeks, causing delays during peak hours, and police say monitoring will continue in the coming weeks.
