Mainz (dpa) The Rhineland-Palatinate state government has spoken out against the construction of a Rhine tunnel near Ludwigshafen. The local communities are aiming for a tunnel reading, said Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) on Wednesday in a question session by the state parliament. However, the construction of a tunnel is unrealistic because it is not economical. The state government, together with the state company Mobilitt (LBM), will do everything possible to help the city of Ludwigshafen so that the tense traffic situation there can be brought under control as quickly as possible and the economic strength of the region will not be harmed.

The construction of an additional Rhine bridge at Altrip would not currently help to solve the traffic problems of the city of Ludwigshafen, said Wissing. The priority now was to quickly get up Hochstrae Sd and then tackle the Hochstrae Nord project.
The high street south in Ludwigshafen, which is important for regional traffic, will probably be inaccessible until at least 2023 due to serious damage. Now the city council has to decide how to proceed. Options are a single-track opening with a support structure, a provisional steel bridge or demolition and new construction.
