New construction of the bridge in Kotteritz: a milestone for safe traffic!

in Kotteritz it goes high: The demolition of the old bridge over the Pleiße started at the beginning of May 2025 and will soon make room for a modern, safer traffic connection. The original date for the new Bridge was already scheduled for January 2025, but had to be postponed due to an unpleasant asbestos. The dismantling is now carried out under the highest protective measures to protect people and the environment. This reports abg-info.de .

The demolition project is driven carefully and in sections with heavy machines such as excavators and hydraulic scissors. On May 6th, most of the approximately 27 meter long bridge fell, and the disposal of the asbestos -containing materials is subjected to strict checks. Before the demolition, a temporary fill was created with several pours to prevent rubble from getting into the pleisel.

new coat of paint for the bridge

The new building of the bridge not only promises a new coat of paint, but also important improvements for regional traffic. A six -meter -wide roadway and a 2.5 meter wide walkway are planned, which are supplemented by safety devices. About 30 meters of new sidewalk are made to close the connection to the existing footpath on the east side of the Pleisse. The completion of the new bridge is planned for early November 2025. After the construction work, it will be possible for all vehicles, including the fire brigade, trucks and school buses, to safely cross the Pleiße in Kotteritz. The total costs for this comprehensive project amount to around 1.75 million euros, with a large part of the Thuringian funding program "municipal transport infrastructure" being financed. The district takes over 450,000 euros of costs.

A look at Hessen shows that dealing with asbestos in construction projects is not an isolated case. Asbestos containing asbestos containing asbestos were recently found when a bridge on the A7 in Uttrichshausen. As the FR.DE , the find led to additional unrest among the residents who were concerned about dust and noise. In similar cases, Mayor Mark Bagus emphasized that it is important to strictly observe all security standards. German unit Fernstraßenplanungs- und -Bau GmbH (Deges) guaranteed that the material is bound in the concrete and therefore does not represent a health risk.

bridge construction and responsibility

In the context of the bridge construction, it becomes clear how important residents and municipalities have to pull together. As part of a larger program to improve the infrastructure, bridges must always be checked for their safety and functionality, as shown in Berlin with its numerous bridge projects. This infrastructure is crucial for mobility in our region. Information and plans can be found on berlin.de .

Bridge construction in Kotteritz is an important project that not only serves the current transport connection, but also increases security for future generations. Stay excited about the developments and the new bridge, which will soon shape the traffic over the pleisses.
