GermanyThe complete closure of the A14 motorway near Grimma in Saxony due to a bridge collapse has been lifted earlier than planned. The Federal Motorway Company announced that demolition work was completed ahead of schedule, allowing both the main section between Mutzschen and Grimma and the access ramps to reopen. The collapsed bridge, known as '21Ü2', was identified through a special inspection as being in critical condition. Demolition costs around 700,000 euros, though some foundation work remains, requiring temporary road closures. A new bridge is set to cost three million euros and is scheduled for completion by 2028. Authorities are monitoring ten other bridges along the A14, built between 1969 and 1972, which contain Hennigsdorfer steel linked to the collapse of Dresden’s Carolabrücke.
