Fiber optic construction sites and events: traffic restrictions in Kaufbeuren!

Fiber optic construction sites and events: traffic restrictions in Kaufbeuren!

There's a lot going on in Kaufbeuren in July! Drivers must prepare for several temporary road closures due to construction work and events. This is what a recent report says wir-sind-kaufbeuren.de.

Particularly noticeable are the fiber optic works on the Jizera Mountains Road, which will take place from July 1st to August 14th. Here the road will be closed in sections for one day at a time in several places. The junctions affected are Bürgerstrasse, Johannesberger Strasse and Reinowitzer Strasse. These closures occur one after the other and are only intended for car traffic. The reason for this is the laying work for fiber optic cables and house connections.

Deadlines for closures

Another date that drivers should keep in mind is July 12th. There will be two closures on this day: The street “Am Breiten Bach” will be closed from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. due to an event, while Ludwigstrasse will be closed for the “Summerstreets” event between 2 p.m. and midnight. A special atmosphere pampers passers-by here and traffic is redirected accordingly.

The city administration asks all citizens to understand these restrictions and recommends that they avoid the affected areas during the closure times. Such measures are often necessary to revitalize city life and make it modern.

Fiber optic expansion in focus

The fiberglass work in Kaufbeuren is part of a larger trend that is also happening Telecom advances. This would like to provide more households with fast internet. The availability of fiber optic lines depends on various factors, such as the expansion plans of the telecommunications providers and regional conditions.

Although expansion has not yet begun in some regions, it is worth registering for a fiber optic tariff. Telekom offers attractive tariffs that will be converted to high-speed Internet in the future as soon as the necessary infrastructure is available.

The comprehensive expansion of fiber optic networks is an important task for Germany in order not to be left behind in international comparison. On fiberglass-internet.info you can read that, according to the FTTH Council, Germany will be in last place among the EU countries in 2024 - both in accessibility (Homes Passed) and in connection rate (Homes Connected). This is particularly worrying when you consider that the EU average for Homes Passed is around 64.5%.

Nevertheless, Germany has made noticeable progress in fiber optic coverage in recent years. Two years ago the coverage was 6.3%, while in 2024 it has increased to 40%. Another positive aspect is that Germany is one of the top 5 fastest growing EU nations in fiber optic expansion.

The upcoming fiber optic campaigns and the related construction work in Kaufbeuren are therefore not only important locally, but also part of a comprehensive development that is intended to strengthen the digital infrastructure throughout Germany. Let's hope that everyone involved has a good hand in implementing it!
