Hesse: Defect at Berghäuser Bridge: Limited traffic on the A44

Kassel/Berghausen (dpa/lhe) - Due to a defect on the Berghäuser Bridge on the Autobahn 44 in the Kassel district, speed and weight restrictions apply immediately in the direction of Dortmund. The reason for this is damage to the underside of the road surface, which in turn could lead to damage to the road surface, as Autobahn GmbH announced on Thursday.

In the direction of Dortmund, there is a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour and an axle load limit of 11.5 tons. It is purely a precautionary measure. The statics of the bridge is therefore not endangered. Welding work on the underside of the roadway slab is planned for the end of January.
