The L371 bridge between Tübingen and Hirschau, which is in poor condition, requires the installation of a steel structure to ensure its continued use. Construction work for this support system begins on June 16th and is expected to be completed by the end of July. However, authorities anticipate that a full closure may be necessary once the stabilization work is finished.
