Shiny New Cycling Bridge Coming to Altmarkkreis Salzwedel!

Cyclist-Friendly Bridge Erected in Altmark Region - Cycling enthusiasts in Altmark now have a new infrastructure to enjoy, as a brand-new bridge exclusively for bicyclists has been built.

Get ready, cycling enthusiasts! A fresh cycling bridge is set to be built over the Katerhorster Graben in the Altmarkkreis Salzwedel. With work starting from next week, the old and defunct bridge will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a half-million euro investment from the ministry of Infrastructure and Digitalisation in Magdeburg.

Hold on to your handlebars, wildlife friends, because this bad boy's got room for you under its sturdy steel and concrete arches! The new bridge will stretch over six meters wide, with three meters dedicated for cyclists, making it a breeze for our two-wheeled riders as well asперhaps some brave critters. The construction will require some temporary detours for cyclists, but never fear! The detour will ensure a safe voyage for all cyclists, leading them back to the newly built bridge.

But fear not, motorists! While cyclists dart about like fish in the ocean, your journey on the federal road will remain as smooth as ever. There's no need for any adjustments to your daily commute.

Why the change, you ask? The old bridge was no longer economically feasible to repair, so they decided to go big or go home! Bye-bye, dilapidated relic, and hello, sleek and modern cycling highway!

P.S. - Don't you worry about the exact specifics of the bridge, such as boring piles and technical details. Leave that to the engineers and architects. Just enjoy the ride without having to dodge potholes or feel the chill of the cold, musty, old bridge. You're welcome, cyclists!

The new community policy in Altmarkkreis Salzwedel is considering the expansion of its employment policies to accommodate the increased demand for cyclist-friendly work environments, given the upcoming construction of a modern cycling bridge. In line with this, future employees might be encouraged to adapt a home-and-garden lifestyle that promotes sustainable transportation and eco-friendly living, fostering a holistic and environmentally-conscious community.
