The projecting protective roof construction on both sides ensured the safe use of the road bridge during scaffolding assembly and refurbishment work.

40 m of carriageway bridging: overnight, the 21 m long, pre-assembled truss girder units were lifted and coupled to shoring towers using a mobile crane. At 6 o'clock, the bridge could be re-opened for traffic.
