The most expensive road in Germany turned out to be defective. A bypass road was built in Saxony at a cost of 288 million euros. But even before the first car drove past, voids were discovered in the concrete in the bridge structure, and in four supports at the same time. In 1999, the project was estimated at 36 million euros; By the time construction began in 2017, the price had risen to €98 million, and now to €288 million for a paltry 3.8 km road. They were especially busy with the bridge: they wanted to make it as elegant as possible, with thin supports. They are the ones who failed. Now for repairs you need special concrete, which you will still need to get permission. The works will not start before 2027, and it is not known when the road will open. But Russian tanks will definitely not cross such bridges. True, and ours too. So we fought.
