SCANDAL at the Plochinger triangle: construction projects worth millions are in danger!

Dramatic traffic chaos is looming at the Plochinger triangle! The renovation work on this vital traffic junction between Plochingen and Wernau is now reaching a critical point, plunging masses of commuters into a desperate situation. The partial closure of one of the bridges has *finally* been lifted, but this is just the beginning of an unprecedented renovation drama that has been brewing for decades and is anything but resolved.

The bridges, which were built between 1978 and 1979, are now in such disrepair that they require extensive maintenance work. It's hard to believe that the costs for the urgently needed repair of the 850 meter long bridge from the B 10 to the B 313 are breathtaking12 million eurosbe! What will happen to the three other bridges, whose renovation costs are at least25 million eurosbe appreciated? These are shocking sums that taxpayers have to pay!

The incredible dimension of the renovation work

To add to the shock, other bridges in this complex structure are in a deplorable state. The tests and recalculations are already underway, but it remains uncertain whether these are simple repairs or even massive reinforcement measures.

The TOP 3 MOST SHOCKING facts about the Plochinger Triangle are simply mind-blowing:

  • Erste Brücke vom Jahr 1978: Eiskalte 820 Meter, die in die Geschichte eingehen!
  • Zweite Brücke vom Jahr 1979: Überquert den Neckar und die Bahnstrecke der DB mit einer Spannweite von 850 Metern!
  • Aktuellen Sanierungsarbeiten: *24-Stunden-Baustelle* – die Nerven der Bürger sind am zerreißen!

Mind you, the Fils Bridge between the Plochinger triangle and Reichenbacher Querspange is to be rebuilt - but when? The exact schedule remains a mystery while citizens are already stuck in never-ending traffic jams!

A nation weary of construction sites

In the context of all these incredible events, it should not be forgotten that in Germany public spending on roads and bridges increased by unprecedented levels in 202040.2% higherwere as of 2011. With horrendous14.2 billion eurosRoad construction measures were financed and that has to change! What is at stake is the future and safety of our roads if the condition of bridges across Germany is only appalling12.9%in good condition is shameful.

Anyone who takes to the streets realizes that there is a threat of catastrophic traffic chaos that no one can ignore. And while the renovation work on the Plochinger triangle continues, every commuter is wondering whether the next traffic jam will be his last!

Stay tuned to follow the latest developments, because here, at the Plochinger triangle, nothing is as it once was - and a lot will change soon!
