Busch on the building: Esslingen bridge ensures years of argument!

In Esslingen, a serious mistake in building the Mettinger Bridge causes excitement. According to a report from Stuttgarter News undertook a serious building botch: lamp foundations protrude into the property of the BK demolition & earth building. This not only ensures massive legal disputes, but also a lengthy process before the court that has been pending for over a year

The managing director of the company concerned, Mahmut Karagöz, has been fighting for compensation since March 2023, but has seen little progress due to the ambiguity of the jurisdiction of the court. "We always have to keep everything and the deadline, but nothing happens in the court for so long," he complains. Despite a festive reopening act in September 2023, nothing was known about the problems that have been smoldering in the background for a long time. So far, the town hall of Esslingen has not commented on the case because it is an ongoing procedure.

Construction and costs of the Mettinger Bridge

The Mettinger Bridge in Esslingen is not only a popular construction project, it also represents an important connection via the Neckar and is used every day by thousands of passengers. According to Esslingen.de , the city has invested around 27.2 million euros since 2021, with funding of 6.63 million euros has already been promised. Despite these high costs, the city plans to apply for further funding from the state of Baden-Württemberg in order to cover the increased construction costs.

The bridge that connects the Mettingen districts, because and Brühl, will experience a fundamental redesign in order to be able to handle the traffic more secure and smoothly. The new building is built as a steel composite bridge, with important infrastructure measures such as the installation of railings, lighting and traffic lights being carried out. The construction progress is still accompanied by various traffic regulations to ensure this safety of all users during the construction period.
