Three weeks blocking: Isar bridge in Oberhummel is examined!

From Monday, October 21st, the Kreisstraße FS 13 between Oberhummel and Gaden will be completely blocked for three weeks for studies at the Isar Bridge. This measure is part of the planned renewal of the building, which has been in operation for over 60 years. According to the district office of the Freising district, the bridge was built in 1963 and had a load capacity of around 30 tons, which is no longer up to date. Due to the increased traffic volume, the bridge no longer meets the modern requirements.

The closure is expected to take until November 8, 2024. During this time, extensive studies on the building ground and the bridge structure are carried out. "The route is completely closed to all traffic, and it is being diverted in a large scale," said a spokesman for the district office. The blocking is made at the access to the parking spaces on the Isar, which are still accessible. The detour for traffic from Langenbach takes place via state road 2350 to Moosburg and further via state road 2331, with corresponding signs being set up.

necessary measures and future plans

For some time now, the road has been narrowed over the bridge using a hook in order to avoid overloads through two trucks that are crossing at the same time. But this solution is not sustainable and turned out to be inadequate. In order to permanently relieve the traffic and ensure security, the district committee decided to extend comprehensively in October 2020 to extensively renew the Isar Bridge and the adjacent village bridge. These new buildings should not only increase the load-bearing capacity, but also integrate walking and cycle paths to improve the traffic conditions for all user groups.

The current cost estimates are now around 15 million euros instead of the originally estimated nine million. These higher costs are due to the fact that extensive materials and work analysis must be taken into account when planning. The final start of construction is still unclear because it depends on permits and the status of the village bridge.

Mayor Susanne Hoyer von Langenbach emphasized the importance of an additional makeshift bridge in the recent meeting of the environmental and planning committee, which should be available to residents during the construction period. However, this bridge would only be intended for pedestrians and cyclists. However, financial and nature conservation aspects could speak against the implementation, as Robert Stangl from the district office further explained. Every new step in the planning is carefully checked to take all factors into account.
