After a special inspection, the B 101 bridge in the south of Großenhain (district of Meißen) will be closed to traffic with immediate effect. The structure can no longer be opened to traffic, which is why the demolition of the bridge is being prepared at short notice, according to the State Office for Road Construction and Transport. The start is already planned for Thursday.
"The condition of the structure, existing cracks and samples taken indicate a risk to the load-bearing capacity," the press release states. The immediate closure is intended to ensure the safety of all road users and rail traffic passing under the bridge.
Motorized traffic will be diverted via the S 81 to Lenz via Geißlitz on to Großdobritz, then via the S 177 to Meißen and then via the B 101 via Ockrilla, Gävernitz and Priestewitz back to Großenhain. The opposite direction will be routed in the same way.
