A bridge to nowhere and a counting system for cyclists have made it into the nationwide black book of the Taxpayers' Association. The bridge in Radeburg was built as part of a new highway connection for 900,000 euros, then the state ran out of money and the structure stands uselessly in the landscape, according to the taxpayers' association.
It is forbidden to walk on it, and weeds are already growing on the mounds of rubble to the left and right. Public construction projects should only be started if it is clear that they make sense and the necessary money is available in the budget, according to the black book.
The bridge is a necessary part of a sensible overall project, the implementation of which is still planned, the State Office for Road Construction and Transport said in response to an inquiry. The Free State intends to implement the project in full as soon as the budgetary requirements are met.
