On January 9, 2025, it became known that the new construction of the Hirschdorfer Illerbrücke near Kempten will be funded with an amount of 8 million euros. This financing takes place within the framework of the Bavarian local transport financing law. The project is a cooperation between the district of Oberallgäu and the city of Kempten, whereby the total cost of the new building is estimated at around 11.5 million euros.

The city of Kempten will contribute a share of 2 million euros. The construction work is scheduled to begin in March 2025, with a completion of the bridge, which is planned for the end of 2026.
