Lindenbrücke in Kornwestheim: full closure on June 25th and 26th!

In Kornwestheim, drivers will soon face a small challenge: On June 25th and 26th June 2025, the Linden Bridge will be completely closed to car traffic. The reason for this is necessary work on the Stotz combined heat and power plant, which are carried out by the Stadtwerke Ludwigsburg-Kornwestheim (SWLB). During this time, two buffer stores are set up, which are important for the future heat supply of the district heating network, such as Ludwigsburg24 reported.

The work on the Linden Bridge is followed by previous measures that started at the end of May. At that time, fireworks were realized, but this can only be continued by setting up the buffer storage. Due to problems in the supply chain, this work had to be delayed, which is why the total period is not extended, but distributed over several periods. A particularly nice detail: After the work, no further closures of the bridge are planned, so that the citizens: inside can be unscathed.

bypass for drivers

The diversion for car traffic runs far over Stammheimer Straße, Bahnhofstraße, Holzgrundstraße, Jakobstraße and Stuttgarter Straße to the Lindenstraße intersection. However, pedestrians and cyclists are lucky: You can still reach and pass the Linden Bridge via the detours on the sports field and the Bogenstraße. This ensures that nobody has to do without the bridge even during the work.

The project not only aims at current tasks, but is also an important step towards climate protection. The functionality is significantly improved by the new buffer memory, which is decisive as part of the intended expansion to provide additional heat for the Kornwestheim district heating network. In a larger context, such projects are in line with the goals of municipal heat planning, which aims to significantly reduce the heat requirement in Ludwigsburg.

climate neutrality and heat supply

Energy emissions in the region result primarily from heating and hot water preparation, which underlines the urgency of the heat transition. Around 2035, climate -neutral heat supply is to be achieved, with renewable energy sources playing a central role. ludwigsburg.de emphasizes that various measures to reduce heating requirements are planned, including the expansion of warmths and the use of heating.

The municipal utilities play an important role in this change and drive forward the expansion of the heating networks. In 2020, 904 GWh of heat energy consumption accounted for the city, which led to 222,660 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. With forward -looking transformation plans, the city aims to design a climate -neutral and inexpensive district heating supply by 2035.

It remains exciting to observe how the work on the Linden Bridge and the associated projects will develop. One thing is certain: the efforts to supply sustainable heat are not only important locally, but also contribute to achieving global climate goals.
