Construction work in Ravensburg: Raueneggstraße closed until November 21st!

Construction work in Ravensburg: Raueneggstraße closed until November 21st!

In Ravensburg, there will be significant construction work on the Raueneggstrasse/Mühlstrasse intersection from Monday, November 10th, until probably November 21st. These measures are necessary to modernize the supply lines for electricity, gas, water and district heating. According to TWS Netz GmbH, which provides information about the closure, the Rauenegg car park will remain accessible at all times throughout the work.

Due to the construction work, the one-way street system on Holbeinstrasse will be reversed up to the junction with Raueneggstrasse. Residents can reach their houses via Schlierer Straße and Holbeinstraße. The exit from the affected area is via Holbeinstrasse and Leonhardstrasse to the B32. A smooth detour will of course be ensured: this will be signposted accordingly, and pedestrians and cyclists should also keep an eye on the current signage.

Mobility in transition

The planned works are in line with a wider initiative to improve mobility in our cities. The Federal Ministry of Digital Affairs and Transport has taken up the cause of promoting new concepts and environmentally friendly means of transport with various projects from the mFUND innovation initiative. Because mobility is of central importance for the economy and society.

The focus is not on doing without, but on creating alternative means of transport. For example, Germans on average use their car for almost half of their daily trips, which amounts to around 25 km. Public transport, on the other hand, is only used for every tenth trip, which corresponds to around 10 km per day. The mobility transition pursues three main goals: to reduce motorized individual transport, to promote environmentally friendly means of transport and to improve the infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists.

Innovations for the future

Innovations such as electrically powered minibuses, which are particularly intended for people with reduced mobility, as well as autonomous means of transport, could help to improve services in rural areas. An important concern is precise data collection for sustainable mobility planning in cities and communities, which often faces challenges because the necessary data is complex and difficult to communicate.

An example of such projects is NaMIx, which wants to develop an index to assess the sustainability of mobility in urban districts. This index is based on various indicators such as bike friendliness and travel times to the city center. In addition, the TwinCity3D project aims to establish a system for continuous monitoring of the urban climate, traffic and development in order to sustainably support the planning processes.

The current construction sites in Ravensburg are not only an expression of necessary improvement measures, but also part of a larger, future-oriented concept to promote sustainable urban and transport planning. We will be following developments closely, particularly the progress of the construction work, which is due to be completed by November 21st.
