Strengthening of bridges and future reconstruction
Due to the 60–70 percent of heavy weight passing the bridge daily, from the 18th of February 2013, they started the strengthening of the bridges in the interchange. So they will last 10 to 12 years, because then they will widen the A1 into a 2x4 configuration, so then the bridges as well as the interchange have to be rebuilt.
