Construction of the new Elbbrücke causes trouble in Seehausen's residents!

Seehausen, Deutschland - The construction work on the new A 14 Autobahn is progressing, but the residents in the north of the Seehausen community have concerns. The new Autobahn Elbbrücke, which will replace the old bridge, is a central point of the project.

Claudia Brünicke, member of the municipal council of Seehausen, expressed their concerns about the effects of the construction project on the residents at a citizens' consultation of the Deges company. In her endeavor to hear the concerns of the citizens, she plans to publish her concerns on the Deges website. The mayor Rüdiger Kloth also has the problems of the residents in view and would like to contact the project manager Silke Kinner in order to organize an information event in the Wischelandhalle.

Details on the new motorway connection

The section between Seehausen-Nord and Wittenberge, which includes 10.8 kilometers, is largely shaped by the new bridge. With a total length of 1,100 meters, this will be the longest bridge in the gap of the A 14. A total of 18 bridges and seven other bridges in the subordinate road network are planned in the course of the new motorway. The construction of this important infrastructure has been planning for a long time; Building law has existed since October 24, 2019, while the groundbreaking took place on October 16, 2020, such as DEGES.de.

The engineering office Leonhardt, Andrä and Partner, as well as the architectural firm Jean-Jacques Zimmermann have created the design of the bridge. When planning, great emphasis is placed on nature and landscape protection, whereby all the necessary protective measures in the area are also taken into account. The existing Elbe bridge of the B 189 is to be rebuilt from 2026, and during the entire construction period the traffic on the B 189 must flow continuously.

environmental protection and construction progress

In order to minimize nature consumption, the A 14 is built along the route of the federal road B 189. The B 189 is reorganized in the Wittenberge urban area to make room for the A 14. In addition, noise protection walls are being built in the Vielbaum and Geestgottberg local locations. The measures to protect the wildlife, such as the new Aland crossing as an underpass for wild animals, should also be emphasized. Preparatory measures were launched in autumn 2020 and work began in 2023 in the area of ​​the Seehausen-Nord/Landesstraße L 2.
