Traffic collapse threatens: Hanau Central Station Bridge closed and diversions in force

City of Hanau plans bridge tear at the main train station

The city of Hanau plans the demolition and the years of new construction of the bridge at the main train station. This measure is part of the city's largest infrastructure construction project because new tracks are to be laid at the main train station.

Extensive traffic impairments

The full closure of the bridge at Hanau Central Station comes into force at the beginning of the summer vacation. This means that all traffic is diverted in terms of local transport. The road users have to adjust to longer travel paths.

To give the citizens an insight into the future appearance of the bridge, you can look at before and after pictures from all four directions.

Construction work in December

Preparations for the bridge tear have been running for months. A makeshift bridge was installed in March to support the upcoming construction work. The actual demolition is planned for December.

three -year closure and diversions

After the old bridge was demolished, the new building is expected to take almost three years. During this time, the blocking and diversions are maintained. The bus lines are also affected by the changes and have already been diverted.

This measure is part of a larger construction project across Hesse, since construction and renovation work is also carried out on other railway lines. Travelers should prepare for possible disabilities and changes, especially during the summer vacation.

More information about the construction sites and the planned measures are available on the Hessenschau.de website.
