The demolition of the destroyed section of Dresden's Carola Bridge is now continuing to follow the original concept. In the course of next week, there will be enough space to remove the debris lying in the Elbe, the city announced on request. Starting next week, an excavator will drive onto it and remove it step by step from the middle of the river to the Altstädter Ufer. "Once this has been done, demolition work will begin on the two bridge sections hanging diagonally into the water on the Neustadt side."
The demolition was resumed a good two weeks ago. According to the town hall, the work is "progressing well". The remains of strand C on the Neustadt side have now been removed and excavators are currently breaking up the rubble. "A mobile crushing plant makes the rubble very fine so that it can be easily removed and ultimately recycled." The material should be completely removed by the end of the week.
