Demolition of the ring bridge in Magdeburg: Start on Monday with livestream!

In Magdeburg there is a large construction project: On Monday, June 16, 2025, the ring bridge on Damaschkeplatz begins. The construction site is being prepared intensively in advance, as was recently announced by the city administration. The demolition, which must be carried out within a week, requires the use of ten excavators and takes place around the clock in the two-shift system to ensure a rapid implementation. The first steps to interpret a fall bed have already started last week to protect the streets, lines and tracks under the bridge, the MDR Saxony-Anhalt reports.

How Volksstimme notes, the demolition is documented via 9 a.m. for interested parties from 9 a.m. However, cars and residents have to prepare for considerable noise pollution and traffic disruptions by the end of June. "We ask for understanding for the necessary work," said a spokesman for the city.

future prospects for the Damaschkeplatz

After the demolition, the construction site will be cleared the following week, with around 3,000 tons of sand being removed, which was streamed for safety. As early as August 1, 2025, the planned makeshift bridges should be accessible in both directions. These make -up bridges are placed on the pillars and abutments of the old ring bridge. "The aim is to release the Damaschkeplatz for all transport types promptly," explains the city administration.

In the long term, even a complete replacement building of the bridge is planned. Hope: a modern bridge that meets the requirements of a growing city and can also better manage traffic flows.

Such infrastructure projects are essential these days, even if they bring some inconvenience with them at short notice. However, a more modern transport infrastructure that is designed for the needs of the citizens is created both in Magdeburg and Hanau.
