Accelerating Bridge Repair: NRW Executes Swift Three-Step Process - Renovation Advancements in Bridge Infrastructure: NRW Accelerates Three Successive Projects
Lumping together bids and swift construction using pre-fabricated components aim to speed up the much-needed bridge renovations in North Rhine-Westphalia. "Renovating three bridges concurrently is a first for North Rhine-Westphalia," stated NRW's Minister of Transport, Oliver Krischer (Greens), during a trip to the exemplary projects in Neuss-Erfttal.
Currently, three bridges are undergoing simultaneous renovation via a combined tender—one of which is expected to be done in just ten weeks. "The high degree of pre-fabrication of the bridge components drastically lowers site traffic restrictions," stressed Petra Beckefeld, Director of the State Office for Roads.NRW.
In 2023, the state government proposed a plan to renovate 400 bridges within a decade. According to ministry stats, 15 bridge replacement new builds have been finished since November 2023, 41 are ongoing, and 37 more are scheduled for this year.
