Bridge Reiter closed for a day
The Horse Bridge at the Nordhorner Vechtesee will be fully closed for one day on August 20, 2025, as announced by the Straßen.NRW regional authority. The closure is due to the dismantling of scaffolding for the renewal of the rust protection on the bridge.
The exact duration of the closure is not specified, but it is expected to cause inconvenience to commuters and pedestrians, as well as potentially affecting traffic and local businesses in the area. It is unclear if there are any alternative routes available during the temporary closure.
A detour around the Vechtesee is signposted, but the impact on traffic flow and local businesses remains uncertain. The Horse Bridge's temporary closure is not related to maintenance or repair work, but to the renewal of rust protection.
The Horse Bridge, located at the Nordhorner Vechtesee, was recently closed as scaffolding was erected for the rust protection system replacement. The reason for the closure is not specified, but it is clear that the closure is temporary.
