Cyclist highway: connecting Munich with Markt Schwaben!
An exciting development for all cyclists in the region: The draft planning for a new high-speed cycle connection from Munich to Markt Schwaben was presented today. The project aims to create a fast, safe and comfortable cycling connection that runs via Aschheim, Feldkirchen, Kirchheim and Poing to Markt Schwaben train station. Thanks to the structural separation from other traffic and priority regulations at intersections, cyclists should reach their destination quickly and safely Mercury reported.
The planning work was decided by the city council in April 2022 and is funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. To be more precise, 75 percent of the costs for the planning services are covered, a step that noticeably relieves the burden on the project, as shown Munich on the way is to be read. The entire route is nine kilometers long and offers great potential with an estimated 6,100 users per day, which underlines the important role of this rapid cycle connection.
Technical details and planning
The construction of the rapid cycle connection follows strict criteria: It will be at least five kilometers long and should be three meters wide for one-way traffic and four meters for two-way traffic. These dimensions make overtaking easier, which is particularly important for cargo bikes, Pedelecs and e-bikes. The cycle paths will also provide safe and comfortable crossing points to minimize wasted time. From a report by the Mobility Forum It is clear that such connections are designed primarily for everyday cycling and are primarily intended to appeal to commuters.
The residents in Markt Schwaben and Poing are actively involved in the planning process. One of the central questions in the discussion rounds was how to cross the FTO, which could be done either via a railway bridge or another solution. The exact route north or south of the railway tracks is still open and will be further discussed in the planning.
Cost and schedule
The estimated construction costs for the entire project are around 12 million euros. The financing will be taken over by the district office, with possible support from the Free State. The schedule calls for a soil report to be carried out in 2025. The actual planning is scheduled for 2026 to 2027, followed by a call for tenders in mid-2027. Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2027, so the rapid cycle connection is expected to be completed in 2028.
The new rapid cycle connection not only strengthens mobility in the region, but also takes an important step towards more environmentally friendly transport. This will not only make cycling safer and faster, but also more efficient, which will have a positive impact on the environment and the quality of life of citizens.
