Bomb find in Koblenz: B49 closure at the Pfaffendorfer Brücke

Koblenz. In the city of Koblenz, the B49 on the Pfaffendorfer Brücke occurred short -term. The reason for this was the unexpected find of an American flying bomb from the Second World War, which was discovered in the course of construction work on the construction of the bridge. For the security of the citizens, it was necessary to close the bridge in both directions until around 12:50 p.m. so that the ordnance clearing service could examine the situation in detail.

The unpleasant find reminds us of the numerous unprocessed remains of the war, which still lurk in different parts of Germany. Such defusing is not only routine, but also bring a certain tension with it, since the exact type of bomb can be unknown. After the investigation of the ordnance clearing service, however, the blocking of the bridge was canceled, and traffic can now flow normally again.

planned defusing in the coming week

A positional consultation is already planned for the coming days, in which the further steps regarding the bomb defusing are to be coordinated. The defusing itself is scheduled for the next week. These measures are urgently necessary to completely eliminate the potential danger that is based on the non -detonated bomb.

With the defusing of such ammunition parts, the ordnance clearing service deals in Germany, which specializes in ensuring security and order in such cases. Local residents and road users should be prepared for the next week that there may be renewed traffic restrictions in order to be able to carry out the defusing safely.

During the current blocking of the B49, road users were asked to bypass the area. Such measures are not only necessary for the safety of people, but also for the efficiency of the work of the clearing service, which takes care of the danger removal.

The discovery of bombs from the Second World War, especially in urban areas, is not a rare phenomenon in Germany. Often these unexpected finds occur during construction activities, which shows how important careful examinations and preparations are in the renovation or new construction of buildings and infrastructures.
