Ulm Secures Record €154 Million for Historic Bridge Modernisation Project
Ulm has received the largest state funding package ever awarded for a bridge modernisation project in Germany. The city’s B10 highway upgrade will now benefit from an extra €49 million, bringing total investment to €154 million. Officials say the project highlights strong cooperation between local and state authorities.
The B10 highway serves as a vital traffic link for Ulm and southern Germany. Lord Mayor Martin Ansbacher stressed its importance for residents, businesses, commuters, and tourists alike. He also thanked city and state staff for their efforts in pushing the project forward.
Transport Minister Winfried Hermann confirmed the additional €49 million, calling it a clear sign of the state’s commitment to Ulm. The funding boost follows years of joint work between the city and the Transport Ministry. A key factor in securing the money was the decision to use a partnering approach and smart traffic management strategies.
Ansbacher noted that completing the project successfully sends a strong message about the region’s ability to deliver major infrastructure upgrades. The modernisation aims to improve travel for thousands while supporting local economic activity.
With €154 million now allocated, the B10 renovation stands as one of Germany’s most significant bridge modernisation projects. The funding will help upgrade a crucial route for the city and surrounding areas. Work will continue under the partnership between Ulm’s administration and the state government.
