Bremen accelerates swing bridge project in Bremerhaven’s Kaiserhafen

Bremen’s government is fast-tracking plans for a new swing bridge in Bremerhaven’s Kaiserhafen. Two Senate departments—Economic Affairs, Ports, and Transformation, and Construction, Mobility, and Urban Development—are leading the effort. Officials have dismissed claims that red tape is slowing the project down.

The project aims to upgrade critical port infrastructure, supported by a €1.35 billion federal investment basics programme. Authorities insist the process remains efficient, despite public concerns about delays.

The new swing bridge in Kaiserhafen is moving forward under tight coordination between Bremen’s Senate departments. Officials maintain that delays are not due to excessive procedures but to careful planning. The project remains a key part of the port’s modernisation under the federal investment basics programme.
