Great construction drama in Ulm: Renewal of the B10 and ailing bridges in focus!

The city of Ulm will be faced with extensive construction projects in the coming years, including the most important renewal of the B10. According to a report by swp.de in Ulm and Neu-Ulm in planning or under construction. The construction work on the Blaubeurer Ring has currently started, with trees being felled to make room for the measures.

Another critical point are the dilapidated bridges in the region, including the Adenauerbrücke, the Gänstorbrücke, the Wallstrasse bridge and the bridge over the Blaubeurer Tor, which urgently need to be replaced. In addition, there are construction sites for channels, supply and telecommunications lines as well as the fiber optic and district heating network. When working for the channel in Blaubeurer Straße, there are unforeseen problems that bring about a threatening risk of burglary in some places.

construction projects in detail

The construction activities for the Wallstrasse bridge, the Blaubeurer Tor-Tunnel and the conversion of the Blaubeurer Ring were already initiated by the ARGE B10 Ulm in August 2023, such as Ulm.de reported. Construction partners are the companies Leonard Weiss from Göppingen and Matthäus Schmid from Baltringen. By Christmas 2023, parts of the construction site facility have already been brought to the construction site.

At the beginning of the new year, on January 3, 2025, traffic -assured barriers and signage were set up. The renovation began on January 7, 2025, whereby the ring traffic is initially widened for tunnel construction. The conversion will change the shape of the ring traffic, which will accept a "potato" form from autumn 2025. In addition, a provisional bypass of the B10 is prepared for the direction of travel north east of the Blaubeurer Tor.

For the tunnel that is supposed to replace the bridge over the Blaubeurer Tor, the work is laid out by the end of 2028, while the new Wallstrasse bridge is scheduled to go into operation in the summer of 2029. The drainage systems for the tunnel are continued to the south, and a new rainwater canal is being built in the area of ​​the car dealership west of the B10, with the start of the work in February 2025.
