Donaubrücke Stein - Mautern after renovation again released for traffic!

Donaubrücke Stein-Mautern, Österreich - The provisional renovation of the Stein - Mautern Danube Bridge was successfully completed after only two weeks of construction. Since today, July 23, 2025, all lanes on the bridge and on the B 3 Donau Straße can be used again. The Udo Landbauer Traffic Council announced that the half -side lock in the area of the structure was lifted. This happened after the technical approval by a civil technician who took place on Wednesday. The construction work was necessary after severe damage to a sidewalk was found during a routine review in June.

The Lower Austria road service reacted quickly and initiated a repair concept. The construction of the bridge was reinforced with additional transverse aid carriers made of steel, which significantly increases the safety of the roadway. The total costs of the renovation amount to around 53,000 euros. The reduction of the construction site equipment and the traffic light system has already started.

background of the bridge repairs

In Germany, public expenses for the construction of roads, bridges and tunnels in 2020 increased by 40.2 % compared to 2011. These increased investments are an indication that maintenance and expansion of transport infrastructure must take a high priority. The expenses for road construction were around 14.2 billion euros in 2020.

The condition of the bridges in the German Federal Running Strasse is still worrying. According to current statistics, only 12.9 % of the bridges were in good or very good condition in 2020, while 9.9 % had serious defects. These figures illustrate the need for continuous renovation measures to guarantee the safety of the transport infrastructure. The economic value of the streets in Germany was 394.2 billion euros and thus shows a significant increase in 24.5 % since 2011.

The successfully carried out renovation of the Stein - Mautern Danube Bridge is a positive example of the quick reaction to infrastructure problems and shows how important the preservation and improvement of traffic routes is for the safety and mobility of the population. Long -term planning and investment in the infrastructure is essential to avoid similar damage and closures in the future.
