Thousands rejoice at Aachen Haarbachtal bridge opening celebration on the highway
The Haarbachtal bridge, a 160-meter long structure that connects Aachen and its neighbouring towns, is once again open to the public. After months of construction, cars will roll over the bridge instead of heavy machinery, marking a significant milestone for the city.
The reopening of the bridge is not just a return to normality, but a cause for celebration. The idea for the public event "Open Bridge Day" was initiated by Autobahn GmbH as part of the bridge replacement project and citizen festival. It was planned to celebrate the completion of the project before the official traffic opening the following day.
Thousands of visitors have been flocking to the bridge, creating a fair-like atmosphere with sausages, waffles, and cold drinks. The Hartwig family from Herzogenrath, among many others, are enjoying their walk on the bridge.
Eight-year-old Linus from Aachen expressed his excitement, saying, "'It's amazing!'" The bridge's reopening has been met with a positive response, not just due to the sun and good spirits, but also because it offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into the work of engineers and construction workers.
A large photo gallery on the bridge traces the chronology from the demolition to the present, providing a visual narrative of the construction process. The vehicles of construction companies, firefighters, and police, while not explicitly mentioned as attractions for children, have been popular sights for many who visited the bridge during the construction period.
The Haarbachtal bridge, with its reopening, stands as a symbol of resilience and community spirit. It's a testament to the city's ability to adapt and grow, even in the face of change. For the people of Aachen, it's not just a bridge, but a connection to their city's past, present, and future.
