Germany's Transport Minister visited a closed bridge in Bonn due to severe structural damage. The Friedrich-Ebert-Bridge on the A565 was unexpectedly shut down after inspections revealed significant issues with its load-bearing structure. Funding for repairs will not be an obstacle, officials stated. The closure of this vital bridge, used by over 100,000 vehicles daily, is causing significant disruption. Officials anticipate the full impact will become clear after the weekend.
