Bridge new building over the hollow: massive diversions for Pouch awaited!

in Pouch, in the Anhalt-Bitterfeld district, the path is paved for renewing an important bridge over the Mulde. The responsible state road building authority has given the necessary orders so that construction work can begin in November. Overall, the renovation, which includes a distance of around 500 meters, is expected to take up by summer 2028 and require a cost framework of 53 million euros.

The bridge plays an important role because it is part of the federal road 100 that is a lifeline between Wittenberg and Bitterfeld. Almost 7,000 vehicles drive this route every day, which illustrates the importance of maintenance. During the 15-month construction phase, the bridge is completely blocked, which inevitably leads to significant disabilities and diversions for traffic.

construction work and traffic effects

The renewal of the bridge has become necessary in order to continue to be able to handle traffic safely and efficiently. The route over the B100 not only forms a main connection between several cities, but also serves as an important feeder to the motorway 9. In the past, there have been repeated reports on the condition of the bridge, which is now to be finally renovated.

With the upcoming construction work, drivers have to adapt to extensive diversions, since the bridge will not be accessible for the entire duration of the construction work. This requires patience and adaptability from road users to find alternative routes. The authorities recommend information about the best bypasses in good time and to plan possible delays in the travel planning.

The measure for renewal is not only a question of infrastructure, but also a step towards improved traffic safety. For many commuters in the region, it is of the utmost importance to have hope for future -proof and powerful street connections. The improvements to this bridge could thus have a positive impact on the daily mobility of the residents.

Further information about the construction work and the associated traffic measures can be obtained from the state road building authority to ensure that all those affected are well informed and plan. According to @MDR information, the structural changes are a complex undertaking that requires extensive preparations. This development has already provided discussions among road users who have to adjust to the upcoming changes.
