After the partial Collapse of the Carola Bridge in Dresden The city administration has virtually ruled out such an accident for the Lange Brücke. When asked by the Potsdamer Neueste Nachrichten, city hall spokeswoman Christine Homann explained that the two structures were not comparable. “Due to the technical conditions, we assume that failure of the Lange Brücke will be announced in advance by the formation of cracks.” Permanent monitoring ensures that there is sufficient time to react in the event of serious damage, said Homann.
