News Article: New A1 Motorway Bridge in Leverkusen to Open on Monday
The second new bridge on the A1 motorway in Leverkusen is set to open on Monday, marking a significant improvement in traffic flow between the A1 and Leverkusen-Mitte. The 350-meter-long "K 35" structure, located at the Leverkusen-West interchange, will lead directly from both directions of the A1 to Leverkusen-Mitte.
This development comes after the demolition of the old A1 Rhine bridge in Leverkusen, which is being replaced by two new motorway bridges. The construction of the second part of the new Rhine bridge in Leverkusen is already underway, with the Federal Autobahn GmbH overseeing the construction of the new bridges.
The opening of the "K 35" structure was initially delayed due to preparatory work for the construction of bridge pillars for the second part of the new Rhine bridge. However, the construction work is now complete, and the traffic opening has been scheduled for August 25, 2025. The decision was made by the Autobahn GmbH, which announced the traffic opening.
The opening of the "K 35" structure will not require a detour via the Leverkusen-Rheindorf interchange, as it was no longer necessary after the first bridge opening. Furthermore, the opening of the "K 35" structure will not affect the traffic flow improvements between the A1 and Leverkusen-Mitte, as these improvements were already achieved with the opening of the first new bridge.
The second new bridge in Leverkusen, the "K 35" structure, was completed in the autumn of 2024. With a length of 350 meters, it is set to provide a much-needed boost to traffic flow in the region. The Autobahn GmbH has announced the bridge opening, ensuring smooth travel for commuters and visitors alike.
This news is a testament to the commitment of the Autobahn GmbH to improving infrastructure and ensuring efficient traffic flow on Germany's motorways. The opening of the "K 35" structure is a significant step towards achieving this goal in Leverkusen.
