Construction completes in Damask Square yesterday / Early construction advance leads to square clearance
The Damaschkeplatz in Magdeburg is now accessible to pedestrians and cyclists, but the resumption of full vehicle traffic under the temporary bridges of the Magdeburger Ring is still pending. As of August 5, 2025, the area beneath the temporary bridges remains partially inaccessible due to ongoing construction work.
Work on the Damaschkeplatz includes installing overhead wires, and while a 3.5-meter area for pedestrians and cyclists was opened last Friday, not all lanes are available for vehicle traffic under the bridges as some remaining work is still needed.
The previous temporary crossing over the Magdeburger Ring was closed on August 4, 2025, and vehicle traffic is expected to resume no later than August 11th. However, it's important to note that the opening of the area beneath the temporary bridges to vehicle traffic is contingent on the completion of construction work.
Trams are not yet running under the bridges, and it is expected that they will be able to do so no earlier than the end of August. The exact schedule for vehicle and tram traffic under the temporary bridges is yet to be confirmed and can be found on local Magdeburg traffic authorities' websites or recent announcements from municipal infrastructure agencies.

Other industries such as transportation and finance might be affected by the temporary closure of the Damaschkeplatz under the Magdeburger Ring. Construction work on the area is also slowing down the progress of sports events, like cycling tours or marathons, which typically pass through the area.
