A crucial intermediate step is about to take place in the construction of the new Mulde Bridge on Highway 14 near Grimma. Starting next Monday morning, all highway traffic will be rerouted over a new temporary structure. According to the highway construction company Deges, demolition of the old, dilapidated bridge will begin shortly thereafter.
The replacement structure has been erected next to the existing bridge. It rests on temporary piers that will be demolished later. The roadway, however, will remain in use and, upon completion, will become the lane heading toward Nossen. For the time being, all traffic will flow across this section on four lanes, spanning the width of the construction site.
