Dresden's partially collapsed Carola Bridge is to be rebuilt as a four-lane replacement structure. This was decided by the city council of the Saxon state capital after a debate lasting around two hours. The AfD, CDU, FDP/Freie Bürger, BSW and Team Zastrow parliamentary groups voted in favor of the proposal for a bridge with four lanes. The SPD, Greens and Left voted against.
The new replacement structure proposed by Mayor Kühn has also been approved. By eliminating a time-consuming planning approval procedure, the new bridge should be completed three to six years earlier.
