Rostock (dpa / mv) - The closure of two lanes on the busy Rostock Vorpommernbrücke did not lead to the feared traffic jams.

As a police spokeswoman said on Monday, the traffic jams in the morning rush hour traffic in and out of town had the usual extent.

The reason for the lane closures is control and measurement work.

A specialist company checks whether the external tendons installed in the structure in 1998 have their planned tensioning force.

In mid-November of last year, the city reported severe deformations of the 145-meter-long bridge.

You bend about 16 centimeters in the middle.

This shortens the remaining useful life to up to six years.

The closures are expected to take place by mid-February, Monday to Friday between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Outside these times, the right-hand lanes are released for vehicles up to 7.5 tons.
