Over the past three weeks, several barges have passed the partially destroyed Dresden Carola Bridge on the Elbe by prior arrangement. Shipping companies and ports breathed a sigh of relief after months of closure.

After three weeks of the Elbe in Dresden being open to inland shipping with restrictions, it is now closed again until further notice. "Since this morning, the passage under the Carola Bridge has been completely closed again," said Helko Fröhner, deputy head of the Elbe Waterways and Shipping Office in Dresden, to the German Press Agency. The measuring system attached to the partially collapsed river crossing, which is used to permanently monitor the condition of the structure, has failed. This means that there is movement.
