The Main-Danube Canal Bridge has been closed to heavy traffic - with the exception of public transport - since the beginning of 2025. As the Nuremberg State Building Authority announced on December 23, 2025, work has begun on clearing the construction site for the planned replacement of the Main-Danube Canal Bridge. To this end, the trees and vegetation on the areas required for the replacement construction will be removed in the winter of 2025/2026. The clearing work is expected to be completed by the end of January 2026.

The Nuremberg State Building Authority had to close the Main-Danube Canal bridge to heavy traffic - with the exception of public transport - at the beginning of 2025. In mid-September 2025, the government of Middle Franconia issued the planning approval decision for the replacement construction. This has since become incontestable. This means that building permission has been granted for the replacement construction and the associated road connections. The tendering process for the replacement structure is currently underway.
The aim is to start construction in summer 2026 following the successful award of the contract in spring 2026. The new construction for the replacement bridge is expected to last until mid-2028. This will be followed by road construction with an overall completion target of 2029, after which the existing structure will be demolished.
