News Article: Load Tests on Mayor-Smidt Bridge to Reinstate Streetcar Traffic
The Department of Streets and Traffic (ASV) will be conducting load tests on the Mayor-Smidt Bridge on August 31st, in a collaborative effort with the Bremen Streetcar AG (BSAG) and scientists from the University of Bremen.
The primary aim of these tests is to reinstate streetcar traffic on the bridge, a move that could significantly improve public transportation in the city. The tests will involve various types of streetcars from BSAG crossing the Mayor-Smidt Bridge at full load, simulating all possible encounter scenarios and different speeds.
During the early morning hours of August 31st, the Mayor-Smidt Bridge will be closed to motorized individual traffic (MIV) and public bus traffic. However, pedestrian and cyclist access will remain open, ensuring minimal disruption to non-motorized traffic. The closure is temporary, and the bridge will reopen to buses and MIV in the evening of the same day.
The tests are designed to accurately measure the actual load on the critical components of the bridge and compare it with the calculated load values. The scientists involved hope to confirm a theory that the redistribution effects within the overall structure could result in the actual load on the critical components being lower than initially calculated.
Interestingly, the tests on the Mayor-Smidt Bridge will not affect the operation of streetcars on the Wilhelm-Kaisen Bridge. On August 31st, the Wilhelm-Kaisen Bridge will continue to allow streetcar traffic, while remaining open to all traffic participants, including public buses.
The successful completion of these tests could pave the way for the reinstatement of streetcar traffic on the Mayor-Smidt Bridge, a move that could greatly enhance the city's public transportation network. The search results do not provide the names of the scientists from the University of Bremen who are participating in the tests, but their work is crucial in ensuring the safety and efficiency of the city's infrastructure.
