Help bridge over the Elbe: Faster solution for Dresden's traffic chaos?

Ahrweiler, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland - The city of Dresden has been facing pressing challenges since the Carol Bridge, partially collapsed in September. Until the complete new building is completed in 2027, the traffic connection via the Elbe remains problematic. While the city administration emphasizes the need for a replacement new building, there are now concrete plans for a makeshift bridge, as suggested by the Dresden AfD. According to the first estimates, a temporary solution could be created in just six months to quickly restore traffic, the websites Lomazoma and Sächsische.de .

urgent measures required

The AfD demands that a makeshift bridge are realized in close cooperation with federal and state authorities. While the city administration is working on a comprehensive new replacement building, the need for a faster solution by the city council members is getting louder. In particular, the AfD city councilor Thomas Ladzinski emphasizes that in addition to the streets, commercial transport also suffers from delays. The cost of the planned makeshift bridge would move in the single -digit million range with the possibility of working in parallel to the demolition phase.

Not all parties support this plan. So far, the city has rejected the construction of a provisional bridge because it relies on a quick replacement building. This leads to further tensions in the discussion about traffic management in the city. The worrying state of the remaining bridge structures urgently requires a solution, whereby the time is pushing and the pressure on those responsible increases.
