Construction of the new race track cross-bridge to be completed, open for use as of Wednesday
The city has announced that preparations for the reconstruction of the Rennbahnkreuz and Holzplatz bridges on the Magistrale will begin on Wednesday, 30th July 2025. This phase of preparations includes the removal of the median barrier and the construction of median crossover lanes, accompanied by the closure of the left lane in both directions [1][2][3].
The actual bridge closures are expected to begin on August 25, 2025, with the city providing timely updates on the exact date of the closures [1][2]. This phase of the preparations is expected to last approximately 4 weeks before the bridges are completely closed.
During the bridge closures, traffic on the Magistrale will continue to be affected. The city has not yet provided specific details about the duration of the closures or potential alternative routes. However, they have asked for the public's understanding during the reconstruction process.
The reconstruction work will involve a one-sided closure and modified traffic management. The planned completion of the new bridges is for January 2027, with the current estimated cost at around 5 million Euros [1].
