Bridge renovation in Homburg-Einöd: Transport will be redirected from April 30th!

On April 30, 2025, the next construction phase of the renovation of the construction of the construction in Homburg-Einöd begins, such as the Saarland The measure is part of a comprehensive project that started in August 2023 and is to be completed by the end of 2024. This initiative aims to improve the transport infrastructure and prevent potential dangers through material fatigue.

The State Business for Road Construction (LFS) has been carrying out extensive repair and reinforcement measures since the start of the work. These include the complete renewal of the top of the bridge as well as repairs of the underside and structure reinforcements to ensure the safety of the building. During the renovation work, road users are asked to adjust to possible traffic disorders and, if necessary, plan more time for their trips.

Current changes and traffic redirection

With the upcoming construction phase, single-track traffic routing in the direction of travel Homburg-Einöd will be moved to the opposite side of the road. Traffic from the direction of Webenheim will be guided past the construction site on the right side from April 30th. A short -term full closure of the bridge is required to set up the new traffic routing, which will only take a few hours. During this time there is a detour via the L469 towards Zweibrücken-Ernstweiler and then via the A 8 to Homburg-Einöd.

Already in the course of the previous construction work there were some major challenges. Since September 2024, it has been found that an increased chloride load in the concrete of the bridge made additional measures necessary. These findings had to be carried out special potential field measurements in order to specifically locate the chloride loads. The affected material was removed and a new reinforcement was installed, which significantly influenced the complexity and duration of the work.

previous construction phases and outlook

The second construction phase, which began on February 8, 2024, also led to a full closure of the B 423 in order to set up the single -track traffic regulation. The work in this section is expected to be scheduled by the beginning of July 2024. The Saarnews emphasizes that the planning of these measures is aimed at minimizing traffic impairments and maintaining the fluent traffic.

The complete renovation of the building 397 represents an important part of the traffic infrastructure in the Saarpfalz district. The LFS expects the work to be completed with suitable weather conditions by the end of 2024. Road users should always pay attention to current traffic reports in order to remain informed about the latest developments, as explained in an update of February 5, 2024. The authority also makes it clear that not all work is visible to road users, since many measures are carried out below or within the bridge.
