Volker Wissing visits the closed Rahmede Viaduct of the A45, which causes a lot of traffic problems in Lüdenscheid. The minister rejects criticism of the federal government and promises: there will be blasting this year.

The minister looks up. Not high in the blue sky, but high in the gray concrete. Up to the rusty metal struts that have been causing trouble for Volker Wissing for the past eight months. On December 8, 2021, the FDP politician took office as Federal Minister of Transport, six days earlier there had been a national traffic accident in Sauerland: The Rahmede Bridge – 453 meters wide, 75 meters high – had to be closed due to the acute danger of collapse . Totally, finally, nothing to do. Since then, the A 45 between Dortmund and Frankfurt has been a bottleneck, and 20,000 additional vehicles rumble through downtown Lüdenscheid. Every day.
