New bridge for Wolgast: IHK is enthusiastic about federal aid!
In Cologne there is reason to be happy for the Usedom region today, as the Neubrandenburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) for eastern Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has expressed its satisfaction with the construction of the new bridge as part of the Wolgast bypass. This is an important step for the connection of the island of Usedom and the affected communities. Chamber President Krister Hennige makes it clear that the IHK's massive criticism of the postponed measures was successful and that the Federal Ministry of Finance's approval to finance the new bridge is now finally in prospect.
Your commitment, especially Philipp Amthor, plays a central role in this process. “This is a strong signal for the region, especially for commuters and tourists,” emphasizes Hennige. The new bridge will not only solve traffic problems, but also support the growth of around 3,000 companies on Usedom, which together employ around 50,000 people. Around a million tourists travel to the island every year, which further underlines the urgent need for this infrastructure measure. With regard to the planned completion by the end of 2028, the IHK is calling for the pace of construction to be increased and thus possibly an earlier completion in prospect.
Important decisions for the region
The bridge was previously at risk because the federal government did not want to provide the necessary funds. The Chancellor's announcement that the financial resources will now be released sheds light on the matter. This shows how important the connection to Usedom is not only for the residents, but also for the economic prospects of the region. In the short term, this will also increase commuter friendliness, which is particularly important for people from the surrounding communities.
This development has been welcomed by many people because faster transport connections not only make economic sense, they also improve the quality of life of local residents. The IHK has proven to be an important contact here and has successfully represented its voice in the political dialogue.
Economic impulses for Usedom
The bridge will significantly improve access to the beaches of the popular holiday island and thus attract an even larger number of tourists. The tourism sector is essential for the region, and thanks to the new bridge, visitors from the surrounding area can also travel more easily. This construction work is not just a construction site, but a piece of the future for the entire region.
In summary, the development surrounding bridge building in Wolgast shows how political decisions and commitment at the local level can go hand in hand to bring about change. The anticipation of the new bridge is palpable and it remains to be hoped that the schedule can be adhered to in order to ensure a smooth connection again soon.
