Hochbrücken-Neubau in Bad Hersfeld: traffic and parking spaces affected!

Bad Hersfeld, Deutschland - in Bad Hersfeld the time has come: The demolition and new building of the high bridge started. Between June 19 and July 2, 2025, it will be tight for road users. Traffic on Frankfurter Straße / B 324 is lined in both directions, and a top speed of 30 km / h applies in the affected area. As the inüdthüringen reports, a total of 270 parking spaces are lost in the middle of it, which means additional pressure on parking in the area.

Already since June 15, park bans near the bridge have provided additional inconvenience. Distributed vehicles had to be removed at 8 a.m. by June 17th, otherwise the paid distance threatened. In addition, it is not easier for road users: In the first construction phase, a temporary guardrail is installed and the road divider and the medium cap of the bridge are canceled. These renovation measures soon force drivers to be patient, which is not an easy task in a city with more frequent traffic.

charm of bridge construction technology

It is also exciting to look at the future bridge infrastructure in Germany. A new modular system, developed by construction engineer Theo Reddemann, promises to reduce construction times considerably. According to ZDF , the parts of the bridge can be made in a weatherproof tent next to a concrete plant. In this way, weather -related failures of the past should belong. And not only that: With the new construction methods, the structure is largely "on the side", which could also noticeably reduce CO2 emissions during the construction period.

In view of the fact that an estimated 8,000 motorway, 3,000 federal roads and 1,200 railway bridges have to be renewed in the next 20 years, it is important to consider modern technologies such as Reddemann's initiated solutions. Less stowage pages and faster construction phases could not only reduce the burden for all road users, but also protect the environment.

The Bad Hersfeld citizens can expect alternative mobility offers during the construction period. City buses and national bus lines will help relieve traffic. Bicycle parking systems should also be set up so that environmental protection and mobility go hand in hand.

The high bridge in Bad Hersfeld has a length of around 280 meters and is replaced by 2025 due to the remaining useful life. With a barrier-free expansion of the foot and cycle path connection, the pedestrians and cyclists are also considered. However, all of this will not be done without any restrictions and problems. But what is the name of? There is no end without the beginning! The experience from Bad Hersfeld could soon be trend -setting for infrastructure expansion in other German cities. Stay tuned for further developments!
