New traffic regulations on the B 29: New construction phase from August 18, 2024

The expansion of federal road B 29 between Essingen and Aalen is part of a comprehensive infrastructure project that is intended to significantly improve the traffic connection in the region. Since October 2020, the Stuttgart (RPS) regional council has been working on the expansion of the section to a width of four lanes over a length of around 3.5 kilometers. The second construction phase is now coming to an end and is expected to continue until mid -September 2024.

traffic flow and diversions

The construction work to close the gaps in the directional lanes are crucial to optimize the traffic rivers between Essingen and Aalen. From August 18, 2024, traffic will be able to bend again as usual, while the northern and southern directional lane will be completed at the Bahnhofstrasse and Bauhaus nodes.

However, the new construction phase for road users also brings restrictions with it. Drivers who want to go from Aalen to Essingen will no longer have access to the state roads L 1165 and L 1080 at the Essingen junction, near the Esso petrol station. Instead, a detour is carried out via Robert-Bosch-Straße and Daimlerstraße. These diversions can be a challenge for many commuters, especially in peak times, since they significantly extend the usual path.

meaning of the infrastructure measures

The expansion of the B 29 not only has an immediate effect on the traffic situation, but also long -term positive effects on the local economy. Improved road connections can facilitate access to commercial areas and increase the attractiveness of the region for companies. A more efficient traffic routing should reduce traffic jams and delays, which benefits both the daily commuters and companies.

public relations and information

The RPS has already implemented extensive information measures in advance to inform the citizens about the construction times and the associated traffic restrictions. This also includes addressing current changes in traffic management, which are well signposted on site. Users can also find out about the progress of the construction projects and current construction sites about the website of the State of Baden-Württemberg via the website of the State of Baden-Württemberg. A special app, Verkehrsinfo BW, also offers the option of being able to call up the information at any time.

outlook

After the end of the current construction phase, the RPS is planning a renewed changeover of the traffic routing, about which the public is again informed in a press release. The Stuttgart regional council thanks all residents and road users for their understanding during the construction period. It remains to be hoped that the region's transport infrastructure will be noticeably improved after completing the measures, which ultimately leads to a higher quality of life for everyone affected.
