Overview
- City engineers began close-up checks Wednesday on the Elbe-side arches using a push boat and an aerial lift.
- Inspectors are sounding the concrete and sandstone by hand to spot cracks, spalling, defects and moisture.
- Work shifts next week to arches over Terrassenufer and the Elbe cycle path, with brief car diversions in place.
- Pedestrians and cyclists are expected to move through as normal during the staged inspection, the city said.
- The warranty inspection costs about €37,000 and confirms the 2017–2022 overhaul that followed 2013 flood damage.
