There was a serious accident on the old Leverkusen Rhine bridge on the Autobahn 1, leaving one dead and six injured. According to a fire department spokesperson, one construction worker was killed and two others were seriously injured in the accident. Four workers were slightly injured and another 25 saw the accident. “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” has already reported.
The old Leverkusen Rhine Bridge is currently demolished. A spokesman for the fire department said that the accident occurred due to unexplained circumstances. What actually happened is unclear. It is possible that something slipped or came loose during the transfer process. The area of the accident must now be secured by the fire department before the police can begin their investigation. The statistics of the bridge are not dangerous.
The busy Leverkusen Rhine bridge is being repaired because the old bridge was damaged. The first new section was opened to traffic in early February after years of construction work. Only since then have large trucks been allowed to drive on the bridge again. After the demolition work is completed, the second part of the bridge will be built.
