anyone Who regularly uses the A 94, it will have not married, on Wednesday morning, his eyes: Suddenly, over night, is stretched close to the exit Feldkirchen-West, a new pedestrian bridge over the lanes. The Messe München has built for the audience-intensive, trade fair Bauma, the on 8. April begins. And the spectacular project has even worked out better than planned: Frank Pastior, at the fair, responsible for transport and safety, has received from his employees Mathias Bortel, who led the action, already to 0.40 at a photo on the cell phone, which showed him that the building is ready.

“We were totally on schedule,” said Pastior on Wednesday. Shortly before midnight, the highway Directorate had blocked the highway and the traffic is redirected via Paul-Henri-Spaak-Straße – which is locked actually because of the Bauma, for this one hour but more time has been made available. For more than an hour, the authority did not want to redirect the traffic. And longer it was also not necessary: a Few minutes after 1 p.m., the highway was again passable.

Frank Pastior, at the fair, responsible for transport, is happy about every coach that comes to Bauma, the world’s largest trade fair for construction machinery, imagine the Parking requirements, if all of the seats at the Bauma super Saturday in buses that would arrive in a car. Nevertheless, approximately 1000 buses also need space. 600 houses Pastior to the North of the highway on the surfaces of the envelope station and the company Kloiber. Around 25 000 people have to get on A 94, the head of the Department. There has always been at the height of the Otten dichler street is a three-Meter-wide pedestrian bridge to the hofbräu Allee, but at the Bauma three years ago, this was clogged hopelessly. The buses have a meeting in the morning, almost at the same time, it is a potentially dangerous pedestrian congestion, which is likely to come to a panic threatened again, or where not to, every time a paramedic or ambulance to get through.

The solution: A second bridge. A high effort, also financially, the costs are in the six digit range. 113 meters long, and two and a half metres wide, the steel structure, which was brought in three Parts on heavy trucks on the highway from the North of Germany to the fair. On Monday, the two edge pieces had been placed with cranes on the purpose-built new foundations, in the night the 40-Meter-long piece was adjusted, required no further support. It was exciting precision work with heavy equipment, the joy of the many observers, in the end it all mutually matched.

But to go on this bridge, it is still tight, therefore, the authorities have approved only with strict conditions: The mass must hold the shut-off material ready for storage areas in front of the bridge. The Bauma is also Security in the Parking lot and along the makeshift bridge, the press and the visitors to slip in the Hand, with the path to “your” trade show entrance. On the bridge prevails in the morning is also a pedestrian-one-way-traffic: must Return none, who has forgotten his umbrella in the Bus, had to hope for a freebie cap from an Exhibitor is recommended Pastior. Over land, the pedestrian then to five meters in height, and it was a nice first impression of the exhibition and is, of course, remain the same in the temptation, comfortable to stand and shoot a first photo proof. Friendly Security staff will ask the visitors but, just and good to continue. For photos it is specially for the Selfie-Tower on the site.

The Dismantling of the bridge, the exhibition in the Easter holidays, in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday after Easter, the bridge, the came in the night, again as if by magic. Until the next Bauma in three years. The blocking of the A 94 is allowed to short after midnight, but again only a single hour.
