A45-Talbrücke Sterbecke: Release Date is on the Horizon

Long-awaited reopening of the A45 bridge

After years of waiting, the reopening of the A45 bridge near Lüdenscheid is finally in sight. The bridge, which has been closed since December 2021 due to damage, is now scheduled to reopen to traffic in the summer of 2023. This is according to a statement made by the Autobahn GmbH on Wednesday.

The exact date for the reopening has not yet been set, but it is expected to take place in the second half of the year. The bridge is currently undergoing extensive repairs, which are expected to be completed by the end of May.

Delays due to material shortages

The reopening of the bridge has been delayed several times due to material shortages and other issues. The original plan was to reopen the bridge in 2022, but this was pushed back to 2023 due to delays in obtaining the necessary materials.

Economic impact of the closure

The closure of the bridge has had a significant impact on the local economy. The bridge is a major transportation route for goods and services, and its closure has caused delays and disruptions for businesses in the area.

The reopening of the bridge is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the local economy. Businesses will be able to transport goods and services more easily, and traffic congestion will be reduced.

Relief for commuters

The reopening of the bridge will also be a relief for commuters. The bridge is a major route for commuters who travel between Lüdenscheid and Hagen. The closure of the bridge has forced commuters to take longer and more indirect routes.

The reopening of the bridge will significantly reduce commute times for these commuters.
