Bridge for premium cycle path continues to be installed

Lifting in of the third bridge section on 14 December - Kalkstraße closure required from 13 to 16 December

From Thursday 12 December, the steel construction work for the bridge structure of the premium cycle path on Kalkstraße will continue. On Saturday, 14 December, the third bridge section, another so-called shot, will be lifted into place. Kalkstraße must be used for the crane locations. Once again, two cranes with a nominal lifting capacity of more than 90 tonnes will be used.

Kalkstraße must therefore be fully closed for the installation of the third bridge section. The closure will be in place from Friday, 13 December, around 6 pm, until Monday, 16 December, around 4 am.

The diversion will be via Trützschlerstraße - Limbacher Straße - Oberfrohnaer Straße - Kalkstraße (to the Rottluff motorway junction and the industrial estate).

The company Hentschke Bau GmbH from Bautzen was commissioned with the construction work and Metallbau Schubert GmbH from Markersdorf with the steel construction.

Construction work on the approximately 185-metre-long bridge structure for the Wüstenbrand-Chemnitz premium cycle path on Kalkstraße began on 1 July. The bridge is necessary to allow the cycle path to cross Kalkstraße without levelling out. This fulfils an important criterion of the funding conditions for the premium cycle path. Completion is planned by the end of October 2025.
