New valley bridge connects Chemnitz: A step to the green city!

In the district park on Pleißenbach in Chemnitz, a new valley bridge was opened, which can now be used for pedestrians: inside and cyclists: inside. The bridge connects the districts of Kaßberg and Altendorf between Limbacher Straße and Gutsweg. The cost of the valley bridge amounts to around 1.5 million euros, such as chemnitz.de reported.

The provisional scaffolding bridge on Erzbergerstrasse, which was used during the construction period of the new valley bridge, is now being broken down. The construction work in the district park on Pleißenbach continues, whereby the construction site extends from Rudolf-Krahl-Straße to Paul-Jäkel-Straße and includes further work between Limbacher Strasse and Gutsweg. A premium cycle path of about one kilometer in length is continued and several parking paths are created.

In addition to the bridge, high -quality plantings are realized, which include 100 high trunks, 4,000 shrubs and 7,500 perennials. 25,000 square meters are also sown with various seeds. Numerous stays are created and a playground for children between the ages of 3 and 12 is to open in June 2025. Children contributed 452 to the planning and drawings for planning. The aim is to take into account including game concepts and to meet high demands on material quality and creativity in planning.

The project was awarded to the playground manufactory from Teltow near Berlin after a award procedure. The redesign of the park takes into account the original character of the former freight station by integrating historical elements such as track systems and a charging promenade. In addition, the renaturation of the Pleißenbach promotes a spacious extensive landscape with a high recreational value.

These include the renaturation of the Pleißenbach and the creation of play options and new plantings. Further construction phases after 2024 include the opening of the Ratsbach and the construction of new bike paths and shrubs for birds.
