PRODUCTION – 27 June 2023, Rhineland-Palatinate, St. Goar: The construction of the Middle Rhine Bridge is planned at this location. The regional planning procedure has been completed. A regional planning procedure examines what effects the construction project will have, whether there are alternatives and whether it fits in with defined goals for the region. There are only six ferry connections between Mainz and Koblenz on around 80 kilometers of the Rhine. Numerous conservationists are against the construction of a bridge, while many local residents, politicians and companies are in favor of a crossing that is compatible with the landscape.
