Brotterode-Trusetal (dpa/th) – The city of Brotterode-Trusetal (district of Schmalkalden-Meiningen) will receive over 1.9 million euros for the new construction of the Mommelstein cycle path. The total cost of the project is around 2.2 million euros, and the construction work should be completed by the end of 2024, as announced by the Thuringian Ministry of Economic Affairs on Tuesday. The funds come from the joint task “Improvement of the regional economic structure” (GRW). The expansion is intended to further increase the attractiveness of the cycle path for cyclists. A route of about 5.6 kilometers is planned, a large part of which is to run on a former railway line.
