Bridges over the Oker: Vienenburg and Goslar soon connected!

A big step for the infrastructure in Lower Saxony: The bridge over the Oker near Vienenburg has been completed!

Previously, however, progress was stopped by strong gusts of wind on Wednesday. Despite the adverse conditions, the team was able to report enforcement on Thursday. Rüffer reported that three centimeters are missing until the final completion, but the essentials were done. The new bridge will connect the B241 to Goslar and represent an important traffic axis. However, the B241 remains closed until the final release in May 2025, since final work is still available after the construction work started in 2022. These delays were due, among other things, to disagreements between the state authority and the construction company, such as NDR reported .
