Road renovation in Falkenstein: Mayor gives the green light!

Road renovation in Falkenstein: Mayor gives the green light!

Falkenstein, Deutschland - Last Thursday, the market council in Falkenstein met in the town hall and dealt intensively with the current road renovation. Mayor Heike Fries welcomed Andreas Eder from the engineering office Eder, who presented an overview of the prioritization strategy for defective streets. The aim of this concept is to sustainably improve the condition of the streets in the village and to increase traffic safety. [Mittelbayerische] (https://www.mittelbayerische.de/lokales/landkreis-Cham/konept-fuer-strassenslensung- Abeget-18884147) reports on the planned renovation measures for 2025, which in particular the Wasenweg with its highly needed area of 360 square meters in focus stands.

How important an intact infrastructure is for the quality of life in every community is not only evident in Falkenstein. As part of a study by the German Institute for Urban Studies (Difu), it shows that about a third of the streets in German municipalities are rated as "good", while another third has significant defects. It is particularly worrying that almost 50% of the street bridges are in a critical condition. The municipalities therefore face the challenge of not only receiving existing transport networks, but also developing new sustainable solutions in order to achieve the climate goals. Difu emphasizes that the motorized private transport contributes significantly to the greenhouse gas emission and the investment requirement in the infrastructure at around 372 billion euros will lie.

Investment needs and promotion of the traffic transition

A central concern of the current measures is the valid turn of traffic, the municipalities should not only support the preservation of conservation, but also with a clear view of the future. Investments for road traffic infrastructure are the largest position with around 283 billion euros, followed by public transport infrastructure with around 64 billion euros. These high sums show how much there is a need for action at the local level. Basically, it is important to cope with the climatic challenges in the cities. Therefore, the planned measures in Falkenstein are part of a more comprehensive approach that relies on sustainable mobility.

The engineering office Eder, which works in Falkenstein, will make a significant contribution to efficiently design the planned renovations. The analysis of the road stock ensures that investments are made in the right places. It is ensured that future measures reach all citizens in Falkenstein and take into account needs and opportunities. Further details about the projects and the procedure can be read on the website of Eder.

Falkenstein not only pursues a gentle path to improve the transport infrastructure, but also develops a predictive strategy for future generations. With a good hand in the implementation of these projects, the municipality not only becomes safer, but also more livable for everyone.
