Curtain on for bridge renovation: Plochingen is investing 25 million!

In the Esslingen district, there are significant renovation work that concentrate on the Plochinger triangle. Three other bridges are to be repaired here in the near future, such as the Stuttgarter Nachrichten reported. The date of the construction work should take place after the current measures. It is exciting that these repairs are expected to cost with a cost framework of around 25 million euros.

The first bridge that is currently being renovated and was originally to be completed for the end of last year has been delayed by unforeseen challenges. Asbestos -containing parts in the bridge concrete had to be treated, which required additional time. Now the expected end of the renovation for July 9, 2025 is scheduled, according to which the half -side blocking of the downhill ramp from the B10 to the B313 is to be finally lifted, as the State Government describes.

The challenges of the renovation

The bridges were built in 1978 and 1979 and are now almost 50 years old. During the current renovation work, decisive repair measures such as the renewal of the road surfaces, bridge seals and road transitions were carried out. The drainage of the bridges also receives comprehensive renewal, and new guardrails and railings have been installed.

In detail, the renovations on the Plochinger triangle affect four bridges. The two bridges of the B10 are each 820 meters long, while the ramps to the B313 length of 850 and 425 meters have. The renovation of a bridge has already cost 12 million euros, which illustrates the dimension of the funds invested. After completing the current work, a thorough examination of the other bridges on the Plochinger triangle will be necessary to clarify the actual need for renovation.

new construction of the Filsbrücke

Another large point on the agenda of the renovation is the Filsbrücke, which runs between the Plochinger triangle and the Reichenbacher Querspange. This is also to be rebuilt, but the exact schedules for this are not yet known.

The city of Plochingen and the Esslingen district already thank the road users for their understanding during this extensive construction work. Further information about current road construction sites is accessible on the website of the Baden-Württemberg road traffic center.

Overall, the renovation work on the Plochinger triangle is a sign of investing in the future of regional infrastructure - even if they are associated with certain traffic and impairments in the present.
