Kornwestheim loses historical bridge: New building starts 2027!

Kornwestheim loses historical bridge: New building starts 2027!

Kornwestheim, Deutschland - After over a century, the large Pflugfeld bridge in Kornwestheim (in the district of Ludwigsburg) has now ended. In the night from Saturday to Sunday, the last piece of the 190 -meter -long building was demolished. A heavy crane was used to remove the final part of the steel bridge built in 1913.

The demolition is part of a comprehensive project that started at the beginning of the year. The bridge was heavily corroded and a renovation would have proven to be not practical. Therefore, it will be replaced by a modern concrete bridge by 2027, which better meets the requirements of traffic.

challenges of the new building

For the project, costs of around 42 million euros are estimated. The city of Kornwestheim takes on about half of it itself. A major challenge when demolishing and building the bridge is the location of 16 tracks, on which freight traffic must continue to run without interruption. Therefore, precise coordination with Deutsche Bahn was necessary to ensure a smooth process.

A significant part of the demolition process took place in spring when the massive steel structure was gradually dismantled. With Judic attention to the logistical aspects, the city was able to ensure that heavy traffic is not affected while the work is progressing. Details on this complex project and the associated challenges are in a report by www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de to read.

The exchange of the bridge is not only an improvement in the infrastructure, but also a necessity to ensure security in the transport network. The city of Kornwestheim is already planning the next steps to steer the new building in the desired direction and at the same time ensure public security. A modern structure is to be created in the coming years, which meets the increasing requirements and enables flowing traffic.
