The Space Experiment Research and Processing Laboratory (SERPL) seen here is a major new research facility under construction at the International Space Research Park located on KSC. At left is S.R. 3, which leads into the Center from Merritt Island. Being developed as a partnership between KSC and the State of Florida, SERPL will serve as the primary gateway to the International Space Station for science experiments and as a world-class home to ground-based investigations in fundamental and applied biological science. NASAs life sciences contractor will be the primary tenant of the facility, leasing space to conduct flight experiment processing and NASA-sponsored research. About 20 percent of the facility will be available for use by Floridas university researchers through the Florida Space Research Institute.

The new bridge on the Pirna southern bypass will be 916 metres long, 70 metres high and require 7, 250 tonnes of steel. DEGES is building the 3.8 kilometre long route. The route leads from the 172a to the B 172 on the Sonnenstein near Krietzschwitz and is intended to relieve Pirna city centre of through traffic in the future. For this purpose, a 50 metre long and 140 tonne heavy pre-build spigot will be pushed from the abutment on the Sonnenstein over the pillars that are already in place. The final push has been successfully completed and now the finishing work is underway, Gottleuba Valley Bridge, Pirna, Saxony, Germany, Europe
