Due to partial failure of the Carol Bridge in Dresden, a significant transportation route for the city is no more. Even though alternate routes have been established, a representative from the fire department advises commuters to brace for traffic mayhem. The deteriorated bridge is deemed instantly unstable and likely to fall apart, leading to its closure, along with nearby roads and passageways beneath it. Navigation via watercraft is also outlawed. Fortunately, no casualties were recorded during the incident, which unfolded in the wee hours of the day.

Despite the establishment of alternate routes, commuters should prepare for traffic chaos due to increased traffic congestion. The partial closure of the transportation network and nearby roads has contributed to the chaos on the city's roads.
