Fast bridge fall: Carol bridge in Dresden is torn down!

Dresden, Deutschland - In Dresden something happens: The demolition of the Carol Bridge is progressing faster and more unobtrusive than many expected. The work carried out by Hentschke Bau GmbH from Bautzen should be completed by the end of September 2023, reports the DNN . This is a complex undertaking, after all, it is the demolition of a bridge at risk of collapse over a federal waterway. But the logistics of the demolition work has so far been efficient, and the excavators do their work smoothly.

There was not much to see for months, since ten planning variants were rejected before the eleventh ultimately led to the goal. The award of the order to Hentschke is a decision that is considered positive. The company already has experience with bridge construction, for example through the renovation of the Augustus Bridge.

helicopters and contemplative probing

The detailed agreements to carry out the demolition also run. The city has commissioned the Dresden Bohrgesellschaft mbH to the monitoring of ordnance in the area. This is particularly important to ensure that there are no dangerous remains from previous wars when working. In addition, Domarin's specialists take care of the removal of residues from the fairway so that shipping traffic is restricted as little as possible.

The City of Dresden has clear specifications: Urgent shipping passages are allowed from Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. after registration with the waterway and shipping office in Oberel. This regulation applies until the condition of the bridge trains deteriorated.

Another point that contributes to the hurry is the acute risk of collapse of the bridge, which made a direct allocation of the order necessary - without the usual tender. Sound emission monitoring also has already recorded tension wire fractures, which underlines urgency. Fortunately, there was no further wire breaks on the part of the expert office.

future prospects

While the demolition is in full swing, everyone is already looking at the new carol bridge. However, the planning cannot simply be given freehand, since the city administration is bound to planning and approval rights. A traffic release for the new bridge could be planned optimistically for 2030. This ensures a certain degree of anticipation and tension in the city, while the excavators work their lanes, because one thing is certain: there is a lot in the flow in Dresden and there is still a lot going on.
