Construction work on bridge near Friedenweiler: delays and diversions!

Construction work on bridge near Friedenweiler: delays and diversions!

Friedenweiler, Deutschland - The construction work on the new bridge over the B 31 near Friedenweiler drag on. The Freiburg regional council has now officially announced why the work does not make progress as planned: Longer delivery times of the steel composite bearers ensure delays. Except for smaller work, the construction rests, which is not entirely unproblematic for many residents and commuters in the region.

Currently the traffic routing remains unchanged, but there will soon be serious changes. At the end of August - more precisely on the weekend of September 14th to 15th - the B 31 will be closed to install the carrier. The closure begins on Saturday at 4 p.m. and is scheduled to take until Sunday at 6 p.m. The traffic to Friedenweiler is then diverted via the Rötenbach junction. Already during the entire construction period, road users have to adapt to various diversions and restrictions that apply by September 2025

react to the delays

"We ask for your understanding of the inconvenience," says the current report of the regional council. After the delivery and installation of the steel composite bearers, a scheduled continuation of the construction work can be expected. The end of the work will be targeted for spring 2026. But in view of the current developments, it remains to be seen whether this schedule can be met.

Not only in Baden-Württemberg, but also in other parts of Germany, the situation in terms of infrastructure looks similar. According to tagesschau.de, bridges are increasingly torn down and rebuilt, which is often due to lengthy approval processes and legal disputes. The case of the Carola Bridge in Dresden shows exactly this problem, where the reconstruction could be delayed after a collapse until 2027. This topic must also be kept in mind in Friedenweiler.

residents and commuters are therefore required to adapt to the upcoming diversions in good time. Traffic disruptions are inevitable during this time. The RP will inform about all further steps and blocks in good time so that the affected road users can plan accordingly. We hope that the work will continue soon and that we will soon be able to report on the progress in Friedenweiler.

In summary, it can be said that the construction work on the new bridge is now coming. We stay tuned and keep them up to date with the developments. The infrastructure in Germany has many challenges, and Friedenweiler is only a small part of the big picture here.
