A Fresh Cycle Across Altmark: The New Bridge for Cyclists Arrives
Constructing a cyclist-dedicated bridge in the Altmark region - Refreshed Cycling Infrastructure: Altmark's New Bike Bridge Constructed
Get ready, cyclists of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel! A brand-new cycle bridge is on its way, set to replace the dilapidated one over the Katerhorster Graben. The announcement has been made by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Digitalisation in Magdeburg, pledging over half a million euros for the demolition and construction of the bridge[1].
With construction starting Monday and scheduled to finish by mid-November, a robust reinforced concrete structure will soon rise[2]. This modern design is not just for our convenience, but also accommodates the safe passage of local wildlife.
Though the construction work may temporarily require cyclists to take a detour, the traffic flow on the B71 between Chüttlitz and Brietz remains unaffected.
Now, if you're a nature lover or simply a cycling enthusiast, it's good to know that Altmark in general has a keen interest in sustainable transportation. Take, for example, their participation in events like "STADTRADELN" — an initiative that encourages cycling infrastructure and promotes eco-friendly commuting practices[3][4].
The community policy of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, as a part of the region's focus on sustainable living, encourages initiatives like "STADTRADELN," promoting eco-friendly transportation and cycling infrastructure. This new cycle bridge, funded partly by the Ministry of Finance, represents an employment policy commitment towards improving the region's infrastructure, benefiting not just cyclists but also the local industry and lifestyle. Home-and-garden associations may also recognize the importance of such projects, as they can positively impact the community's transportation system and ultimately enhance the overall quality of life.
