📋 Tender Overview
The B10 is a heavily trafficked thoroughfare in Ulm. It leads over two bridge structures from the late 1960s which urgently need to be renovated. Transport Minister Winfried Hermann handed Mayor Gunter Czisch the funding decision in the amount of around 105 million euros. Renovation and maintenance of the transport infrastructure is a central concern and an investment focus of the state government said Minister of Transport Winfried Hermann . He added I am therefore pleased that we can support the city of Ulm with the modernization of the bridges as part of the B10 with a grant of around 105 million euros from the State Municipal Transport Financing Act. The state is thus covering half of the costs. The construction measure also has positive side effects. Because the dissolution of the Blaubeurer Tor ring into two crossing structures eliminates an accident black spot. In addition the footpaths and cycle paths will be widened.Heavy-duty bridges urgently need to be renewedThe Wallstrasse bridge over Kienlesbergstrasse and the railway tracks as well as the bridge over the Blaubeurer Tor in Ulm were built between 1967 and 1969. Due to the poor condition both bridges have to be renewed as part of the B 10. The city of Ulm is responsible for construction. The federal highway opens up the two cities of Ulm and Neu-Ulm and connects the A 8 in the north with the A 7 in the south. With up to 86000 motor vehicles daily 90 percent of them are inner-city traffic.In its application for funding the city of Ulm put the total costs for the replacement of the two bridges at around 207.7 million euros. The Ministry of Transport approved the funding application examined by the Tbingen Regional Council. The Tbingen District President Klaus Tappeser said Bridges connect. They are indispensable for maintaining the flow of traffic. The state supports the municipalities in the renewal of their aging bridge structures. In this way Ulm can implement the modernization of the two large buildings on one of the citys most important lifelines.Completion scheduled for 2030Mayor Czisch explained A rule of life says caution before speed. Here both have been successful at the same time the city of Ulm not only submitted the extensive application for funding in a record-breaking short time but also justified it so well that it withstood the careful examination by the Ministry of Transport. The state reacted just as quickly with its funding commitment. If this successful preparatory work for which I would like to thank everyone involved from the city and state is followed by the same structural implementation then I am sure that our ambitious plan will succeed and that we will have this important area at the Blaubeurer Tor in traffic by the time of the State Garden Show 2030 can be completely redesigned in terms of urban development.
