Esslingen renovates Pliensaubrücke: wider paths for pedestrians and cyclists!

The Pliensaugenbrücke in Esslingen is faced with a dramatic change! The dilapidated middle section of this strongly frequented bridge, which connects pedestrians and cyclists between the Pliensauvorstadt and the city center, is finally being rebuilt. The plans are now more specific and provide for the bridge to be widened to meet the steadily growing traffic volume.

This decision is no coincidence: the condition of the bridge is anything but appealing. High grilles have been dismissing the middle section for years, which now urgently needs a refreshment. The municipal council gave the green light last year, and the planning has been in full swing since then. The diversions that are necessary due to the construction work will also affect the neighboring Merkelpark - a further step towards a safer and more attractive connection for all road users.

important developments

The bridge is a central point for many Esslingen who use the way across the Neckar every day. With the upcoming renovation, not only security is increased, but also the aesthetics of the area are improved. The anticipation for the new painting of the Pliensaug bridge is great, because it will soon shine again in new splendor and meet the needs of the citizens!
