After just ten months of construction—two months earlier than planned—the approximately 50-year-old Lahn Bridge on the B42 near Lahnstein has been reopened to traffic. The bridge had become in need of rehabilitation due to wear and weather-related damage. Although traffic can now flow again, the renovation measures are not yet fully completed.
Scope of the Renovation
The renovation covers an approximately three-kilometer section, including:
- Bridge structure (approx. 550 meters)
- Adjacent road sections of the B42 and B260
- Tunnel south of the Lahn
- Sewer system throughout the construction area
