New construction of theschulenburg bridge: Spandau is investing 98 million euros!
Theschulenburg bridge at the southern harbor in Spandau, a dilapidated structure that is over 100 years old, is facing fundamental change. In the coming years, the old steel structure, which recently suffered a lot of damage, will be replaced by a modern new building. This measure is part of a comprehensive infrastructure project that is being pushed forward with a budget of 98 million euros, largely financed by federal funds. Berlin's Governing Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) described the southern harbor as a "sleeping giant", and the new construction of the bridge is intended to optimize the transport of goods by water and rail Moz.de reports.
The old structure, built in 1909, no longer meets the requirements for modern traffic. The bridge shows cracks and rust damage and has a modest load limit of 18 tons, which severely limits heavy goods traffic in particular at the southern harbor. The new building will have a higher headroom to allow access for larger container ships. In order to improve traffic safety and infrastructure, three different design variants are being planned, with the third variant currently being favored as it is more cost-effective Berlin.de documented.
Planned changes and time frames
The newschulenburg bridge will no longer have any parking spaces; Instead, extensive walking and cycling paths are planned. In order to make the planned ramp system barrier-free, the bridge will be raised, which could pose a greater challenge, especially for pedestrians and cyclists. However, construction is not expected to start before 2028, with the old bridge first being demolished after the new building is partially completed at the same time. The entire renovation is intended to significantly improve safety and traffic conditions for all users, which will significantly increase the efficiency of commercial traffic at this central junction in Berlin-Spandau.
