A total of EUR 9.7 million is released (EUR 8.5 million from Bremen's share under the Länder and Municipalities Infrastructure Financing Act, almost EUR 1.2 million from Bremen's own special fund): EUR 2.0 million for surveys for the bridge replacement, EUR 2.5 million for accessible bus and tram stops and EUR 5.2 million for the cycle route.

The Bremen Senate activated three measures from its immediate investment programme on 21 April 2026, releasing a total of EUR 9.7 million for transport infrastructure: EUR 8.5 million is Bremen's share under the Länder and Municipalities Infrastructure Financing Act (LuKIFG) and almost EUR 1.2 million comes from Bremen's special fund for infrastructure and climate neutrality. EUR 2.0 million goes into a foundation survey and further preliminary studies for replacing the Bürgermeister-Smidt-Brücke over the Weser, EUR 2.5 million into accessible bus and tram stops (including Riensberg) and EUR 5.2 million into the second section of cycle route D15 between Bremerhavener Strasse and Hansestrasse; the first section was due to be finished in summer 2026. Bremen receives almost EUR 941 million from the federal special fund for infrastructure and climate neutrality (LOK Report, 21 Apr 2026).
