Leipziger Straße in Frankfurt (Oder) closed for two days – bridge inspection!

On October 16th and 17th, 2025, Leipziger Straße in Frankfurt (Oder) will be closed to traffic. The municipal utilities have announced that they will carry out a comprehensive safety check of a district heating bridge, which will lead to a closure of the B87 in the bridge area between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on both days. The focus of this routine structural inspection is on the steel bridge of the “district heating primary route” to ensure the condition and safety of the bridge. Road users are asked to pay close attention and understanding to the situation, because even when it comes to everyday life, sometimes a short detour is necessary to ensure safety.

Why is such a test even necessary?

The safety of bridges and engineering structures is not only a question of building law, but also of the traffic safety obligation, which is one of the sovereign tasks of the municipalities. Regular inspections are required by law, in particular according to the requirements of DIN 1076. These requirements concern the stability, traffic safety and durability of the structures. A certain amount of routine makes the difference here; Through regular structural inspections, potential problems can be identified early and resolved before they become serious risks.

An indispensable part of building management

Tests like the one now being carried out on Leipziger Strasse are not just a formality. They are an essential part of a sustainable building management system. As an expert report from TÜV shows, the documented monitoring of structures helps to reduce the risks for operators and makes a decisive contribution to ensuring road safety. The engineers who carry out these tests have extensive experience and are certified by VFIB e.V. This means they are ideally equipped to identify even complex problems at an early stage.

In addition, it should be noted that these measures not only offer a quick solution to problems, but also contribute to the maintenance and renovation of bridge structures. DEKRA experts emphasize that regular inspections and monitoring of bridge structures are not only legally but also practically necessary in order to detect damage in a timely manner and to ensure long-term traffic safety.

Seen in this light, the upcoming closure is not just an inconvenience, but a necessary step to ensure safety for all road users. Especially in a city that relies on its transport connections, it becomes clear how important it is to maintain the infrastructure. Plan your route well to avoid unnecessary delays! Further information about structural testing is available from TÜV and DEKRA, who regularly provide experts with updates and developments in the field of civil engineering structures. After all, it's about more than just a bit of asphalt - it's about your safe progress!
