To create space for the scaffolding, bushes and shrubs near the bridge piers will first be cut back or removed. Minor excavation work will also be necessary to lay the foundations for the scaffolding, as the city announced on Monday.
The main work is scheduled to begin in February 2025. The Kornhausbrücke is 125 years old. Voters approved a loan of almost ten million francs for its renovation. As part of the renovation, Bernmobil will also replace the streetcar tracks and overhead lines.
