New Tübingen-Rottenburg cycle highway: preferred option decided!
There is an exciting innovation in the area of cycling infrastructure in Baden-Württemberg. The preferred version of the Tübingen – Rottenburg cycle highway has been adjusted, which will have a major impact on cyclists in the area. Loud rpt.baden-wuerttemberg.de The new route aims to get commuters from cars to bikes while reducing traffic congestion on the main traffic axes.
The revised variant of the cycle highway, which was approved by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport in September, now runs parallel to the federal highway to the Paul Horn Arena at the fairground in Tübingen and remains north of the B 28. This decision became necessary because the previous planning (variant 2b) was no longer effective; it would have required a new underpass under the Zollernalbbahn, which conflicted with other plans.

The roadmap for implementation

The Ministry of Transport reports that cycle highways represent high-quality cycle connections that can be used quickly and offer commuters a quick and efficient alternative to driving.

The requirements are high: safe and fast cycling, minimal loss of time, sufficient width for numerous cyclists and a high-quality road surface. The section between Tübingen and Rottenburg is also in the planning phase and is now gaining momentum thanks to the revised variant.
The benefit for citizens
The cycle highway is intended not only to make it easier to get around within cities, but also to offer an environmentally friendly and healthy alternative to cars. The project has the potential to make the region even more attractive and significantly increase the quality of life for cyclists.
Overall, it is clear that the path to the realization of this cycle expressway has been paved, and with the right planning and the support of the population, the Tübingen – Rottenburg cycle expressway could soon become a reality. It will be interesting to see how this transport project develops!
