Temporary bridge crossing over the Lip river to be shut down at nightfall
Temporary Bridge Over Lippe to Undergo Inspection
The temporary bridge connecting Dorsten and Marl will be closed to traffic for a night, as it undergoes an important inspection to ensure its safety and functionality.
The closure will take place from Monday, September 22, at 10 PM to Tuesday, September 23, at 6 AM. During this time, a detour will be signposted for all vehicles, except for those from firefighting and emergency services, as well as those from the Vestische company. Pedestrians and cyclists are not affected and may still use the bridge.
The inspection is necessary to detect and repair any potential damage early. It is aimed at ensuring the safety and functionality of the temporary bridge, which plays a crucial role in the connection between the two towns and is also vital for pedestrians, cyclists, firefighters, and emergency services in the coming years.
Heavy goods vehicles must continue to use the detour until the final bridge is completed. The speed limit of 30 km/h remains in effect on the temporary bridge, and the weight limit of 12 tons also remains in place.
The bolt connections on the temporary bridge will be inspected during the night shift to minimize traffic restrictions. However, the search results do not provide information about which company is conducting the next inspection.
It is important to note that the inspections are crucial to maintaining the bridge's integrity and ensuring the safety of all who use it. The temporary closure will help ensure the bridge remains functional until the new bridge is built. The detour will still be signposted during the closure period for heavy goods vehicles.
We encourage all road users to follow the signposted detour and drive with caution during this time. The inspection will help ensure the safety and functionality of the temporary bridge, and the connection between Dorsten and Marl will be restored as soon as possible.
