Clarification on sewer renovation: Kantweg remains accessible to residents!
Things will be turbulent in Uelzen in the coming months, especially in Kantweg, where the renovation of the rain and waste water sewer system is entering the next phase. The work, which begins today, October 1, 2025, was initiated on behalf of the wastewater association and the Hanseatic city of Uelzen. City spokeswoman Ute Krüger emphasized that an originally planned complete closure of Kantweg to car traffic until the beginning of 2026 is incorrect and that residents will continue to have access to their properties. This clarification should come as a relief to many concerned residents who had previously written an open letter to the city council to express their concerns. According to az-online, access to the properties up to the construction site will be possible at any time, which applies in particular on weeknights and weekends, depending on the progress of construction.
The construction work starts at the junction with the B71 and, for various reasons, cannot avoid causing some restrictions on access. The construction company initially suggested a full closure in order to use the Kantweg as a storage area for building materials. Many residents were concerned about the possible disruption to everyday life caused by the construction site. But the city administration has taken the concerns seriously and made it clear that garbage collection will be secured at all times and that access will not be completely lost.
Further construction sites in the city area
However, the renovation in Kantweg is not the only construction site currently affecting Uelzen. Extensive work is also underway in other areas of the city center. From October 25th, the area of the Bahnhofstrasse and Sternstrasse railway underpasses will be closed for the long term, as preparatory measures for new railway underpasses are being carried out by Deutsche Bahn, as hansestadt-uelzen reports. The work includes the laying of supply lines for electricity, water and gas as well as the final work on the canals in Bahnhofstrasse, which has been accessible again since October 20th.
There will also be canal work in the Schillerstrasse/Kaiserstrasse intersection area, which will last from today, October 1st, until the end of April. These measures will result in changes to city bus services, including diversions for several routes, such as route 71 and route 4. Updates will be announced at bus stops and online. This shows that the city administration is also making efforts in this regard to keep the affected citizens informed and to offer alternatives while the construction work progresses, as uelzen-tv notes.
All in all, a lot will happen in Uelzen in the next few months. The city administration asks that you show understanding and patience during the construction phase and assures that the traffic situation will be checked regularly in order to be able to react at any time. Residents and all road users are invited to find out about the progress and follow local news so as not to miss any important information.
