Replacement bridge for Donaubrücke Mautern: region breathes up!
The plans for tolls show tangible progress: The old Danube bridge is supplemented by a replacement bridge during the upcoming three -year renovation work. This was confirmed in an official statement by Landbauer Gazard Major representative. This is intended to ensure that the Danube, which is secured by the Danube, is to be guaranteed, which is of great importance for the residents and the region.
Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner also expressed a positive statement about this solution. "I am pleased that we have managed to find an alternative that enables the Danube crossing to maintain without any noteworthy delays," she emphasized. Thanks to the new bridge, the quality of life in the region should not be exposed to any restrictions.
a long way to the replacement bridge
The decision for the replacement bridge did not fall overnight. Already in June the plans were stopped due to the high costs of 35 million euros. This cancellation ignited a number of protests in Krems, tolls and neighboring communities. A petition collected over 8,000 signatures to demand the construction of the replacement bridge. Now the project is being realized, although the original costs may be reduced, as announced from the Landbauer office.
The mayors of the neighboring communities were also pleased with the decision. Peter Molnar, Mayor of Krems, praised the collaboration with the country's representatives and emphasized that the voice of the citizens, agriculture, tourism and trade transactions was heard. "Reason has won," he said. Andreas Nunzer, the mayor of Spitz an der Donau, commented similarly and pointed out that a functioning bridge is essential for traffic and quality of life.
intensive discussions about renovation work
In parallel to the implementation of the replacement bridge, intensive negotiations run with the Federal Monument Office to plan a comprehensive renovation of the existing Danube bridge. The objective is clear: the roadway has to be widened so that more space can be created for pedestrians and cyclists. "The region needs a powerful bridge that facilitates everyday life," continued Landbauer. Current repair measures are necessary to stop the corrosion of the old bridge. A bridge test for 2024 has already been completed and shows that use under the current restrictions will continue to be possible in 2025. However, the maximum permissible total load remains limited to five tons.The Lower Austrian Neos is also pleased with the plans that ensure another important traffic artery in the region. With support of over 5,000 signatures for a two-bridge solution, you will feel strengthened in your commitment. Transport spokeswoman Edith Kollermann emphasized that it was important not to cut off the region from this essential bridge.
With the construction of the replacement bridge and the upcoming renovation work on the building itself, it can be seen that the concerns of the citizens and the needs of the region are heard. These developments are not only important for those responsible, but also for those affected: residents, commuters and the many companies that rely on a stable infrastructure can look forward to these significant measures.
