Tübingen Unveils Heated Bicycle Bridge as Part of Green Transport Push

The new 365-meter bridge is a key element in Tübingen's plan to make cycling the primary mode of transport, reducing reliance on cars.

Tübingen's new heated bicycle bridge, costing 16 million euros, aims to facilitate year-round cycling by preventing ice formation.
The bridge is part of a broader initiative to expand Tübingen's cycling infrastructure, with four heated bridges planned by mid-2025.
Funded largely by federal and state grants, the project supports the city's 'Mobility 2030' plan to meet climate goals.
The bridge connects the Derendingen district with key city areas, enhancing accessibility and promoting eco-friendly transport.
Mayor Boris Palmer emphasizes cycling as Tübingen's future main transport mode, aligning with his long-term green urban planning vision.
