Secondary Bridge Construction Completion by BBC (Bridge Commissioning)
The city of Mannheim has announced traffic changes related to the construction work on the BBC bridge, scheduled for September 2025.
Starting from September 20, 2025, at 6 pm, a road closure will be in effect on the federal road B38 near the BBC bridge. This closure is necessary to implement a traffic diversion onto the new temporary bridge, which has been installed to ensure safe and reliable traffic during the ongoing construction work on the BBC bridge.
The new temporary bridge, part of the detour for the BBC bridge in Mannheim, will undergo changes to its road markings and guide elements. These changes are intended to improve traffic flow during the detour onto the new temporary bridge. It is not specified whether these changes will affect the road closure schedule from September 20, 2025, to September 22, 2025, approximately 5 am.
During the closure, traffic will be rerouted via signposted detours. The city suggests checking the website www.ourwebsite/constructioninfo for more detailed information about the traffic restrictions. Alternatively, information can be found on the Mobility Portal Mannheim.
It's also worth noting that existing guide elements on the new temporary bridge will be removed or adjusted as part of the ongoing construction work. No specific dates for these changes have been mentioned in the article.
The highway closed during the BBC bridge closure from September 20, 2025, 18:00 to September 22, 2025, about 05:00, is the B38. The current traffic restrictions in Mannheim can be tracked on the portal MRN-News.de.
The changes are aimed at ensuring safe and smooth traffic flow on the new temporary bridge. The BBC bridge detour is now operational, and the city installed the last sections of the temporary bridge in September 2025.
