Grieser Steg: Popular bathing oasis will be extensively renovated after 14 years!

After almost 14 years of considerable stress due to floods and moisture, the Bregenz jetty between the harbor and the mili is completely renewed. After the city council meeting on December 17, 2024, Mayor Michael Ritsch announced that the construction is so dilapidated that comprehensive renovation became essential. The city has decided to use domestic larch as building materials. Costs of around 175,000 euros are provided for the renewal of the popular bathing steer, which will include a staircase, two ladders and a shower. The bridge should be accessible to bathers and walkers at the latest at the end of April, ideally already in Holy Week, as [Vol.at] reported.

renewal of the Grieser Steg as a flood measure

The Grieser Steg in Regensburg also faces a fundamental renewal. Originally built as a provisional in 1949, the massive corrosion damage and the old age of the building are no longer portable. The lower edge of the current bridge lies at a critical altitude that would lead to significant problems in a hundred -year flood. The city and the water management office are working on a flood protection concept that requires renewal of the bridge to ensure the safety of the residents. The new construction will also be wider in the future to avoid congestion at events. The aim is to ensure both the quality of stay and to optimize the travel options for emergency services.
