Four -lane Carol Bridge: City leads debate about costs and layout!

On Monday evening, the building committee in Dresden caused a sensation when it majority voted for the new Carol Bridge construction with four lanes. This decision was made after an intensive debate that lasted until around 10:15 p.m. and took place behind closed doors. On Thursday, the city council will now decide how to proceed with the historic building. The proposal was supported, primarily from the CDU, FDP, Team Zastrow, BSW and AfD, while other parties such as the SPD and the Greens came up with other views.

The proposal for four traces, which is seen in response to the latest traffic forecasts, was discussed controversially. The SPD originally proposed three lanes, but this was rejected. The Greens, in turn, were of the opinion that two lanes were completely sufficient due to the retirement car traffic forecasts. Mayor Dirk Hilbert (FDP) called for a decision that is based on these forecasts.

diversity of opinions

A large part of the Dresden traffic scientists spoke out against the four -lane new building. They consider him oversized and fear negative effects on the cityscape. In addition, the Society of Historical Neumarkt Dresden (GHHND) emphasizes that a maximum of 32 meters wide for the new building is important in that the reconstruction of the Venetian house must not be endangered.

The SPD disappointed that the proposal for a narrower bridge was rejected by the conservative majority. In addition, it remains unclear how the additional costs for a bridge that is over 40 meters wide should be covered. On Thursday, the 70 city councils are required to make a final decision.

innovations in bridge construction

In the meantime, the discussion about bridge construction in Dresden could also benefit from the latest developments in the construction industry. Studies and technologies, in particular the use of steel, play a key role in the future -proof transport infrastructure. As in the publication of stahl-online.de , Stahl offers numerous advantages in bridge construction, especially high material efficiency and load-bearing capacity. In addition, steel is light, durable and completely recyclable, which makes it an ideal material for modern construction projects.

Innovative steel solutions revolutionize bridge construction and contribute to the resource -saving renovation of ailing buildings that are a significant problem in Germany. Therefore, it is not only decisive how a new carol bridge will look, but also which material and which materials from the latest research and development are used for construction.

The next few days will be decisive, not only for the Carol bridge, but also for the general discussion about the sensible expansion and modernization of the infrastructure in Dresden and beyond.
