Complete closure of Frankfurter Straße: construction work begins in Braunschweig!

Things are currently going well in Braunschweig: Construction work to renovate Theodor-Heuss-Strasse is in full swing and will bring with it some changes for residents and road users. The second construction phase between Frankfurter Straße and Eisenbütteler Straße is currently in the hot phase and is scheduled to be completed by July 2nd regionalheute.de reported. The third construction phase begins on July 3rd, which entails significant restrictions.

The complete closure of the intersection area on Frankfurter Strasse and Theodor-Heuss-Strasse, which is expected to last until July 21st, is causing a stir. This measure is necessary to integrate the new drinking water pipe into the existing network and to prepare the road. However, there is currently no approval for the complete closure of the Gartenstadt junction, which is why the city of Braunschweig will inform you about the new process as soon as possible.

Detours and traffic routing

For drivers, this means that the Gartenstadt motorway exit heading north will be completely closed. A diversion takes you via Weststadt, Münchenstrasse and Cyriaksring. In the opposite direction to the Gartenstadt motorway exit, traffic remains open via Alte Frankfurter Straße. The residents of houses 218 to 224 and the customers of houses 225 and 226 can only reach their properties from the direction of Alte Frankfurter Straße.

For the commercial area on Otto-von-Guericke-Strasse, accessibility remains guaranteed despite the many diversions, as traffic is routed via Frankfurter Strasse and Fabrikstrasse. Pedestrians and cyclists can continue to cross the construction site area at the end of construction work.

Construction measures at a glance

The renovation of Theodor-Heuss-Straße will take place in several phases. Extensive work will be carried out from next week until the end of October, including repairing bridges and replacing drinking water pipes. The southern cycle path in particular will be widened to accommodate the activities of cyclists.

But there are also construction projects outside of Braunschweig that are making headlines: In Hamburg's HafenCity, the Elbtower is being criticized because the Lupp construction company carrying out the work has stopped its work. The background is non-payment by the builder SIGNA, who has filed for bankruptcy. This project is one of the largest inner-city construction projects in Europe and is expected to become Germany's third tallest skyscraper alamy.com reported.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the construction work in Braunschweig will develop and what further information the city will provide in the coming weeks. Weather-related delays cannot be ruled out. Residents and road users should therefore prepare for changes in order to navigate well through the construction phase.
