Closure of Mannheim's B38 Franklin-Steg construction site continues, with no reopening until Monday morning
The installation of the new Franklin Bridge for cyclists and pedestrians took place in Mannheim's northern district on Sunday morning. The project, fully funded by the federal government at a cost of around nine million euros, was completed by 7 am, much earlier than planned.
Two massive red cranes were used to lift the 81-ton, 45-meter-long bridge parts into their final position. The closure of the B38 due to the installation began on Saturday evening at 10 pm and is expected to last until Monday morning at 4 am.
The Franklin Bridge will connect the new Franklin district with the old Vogelstang district, providing a forward-thinking and sustainable solution for commuters. Made of wood and carbon concrete, the bridge is an environmentally friendly addition to the city's infrastructure.
The project team, led by Farsad Tawakol, experienced relief after the successful installation. Motorists are advised of the closure on the A659 and A6 highways, with detours clearly signposted. Temporary traffic warning systems are also in place.
If everything goes as planned, motorists will be able to use the B38 again without restriction from Monday morning. The remaining work, such as connecting to existing paths, can be carried out while the bridge is in operation. The new pedestrian and cyclist bridge is expected to be opened for use in November.
Despite extensive searches, the name of the project manager for the Franklin Bridge project in Mannheim is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results. Nonetheless, the successful installation of the Franklin Bridge marks a significant step forward in Mannheim's commitment to sustainable and accessible urban development.
