Traffic chaos in Winterbach: B269 renovation causes disruptions!

Cologne, July 16, 2025 - This week the city will be dominated by asphalt work, which begins on Monday, July 17th. The state company had already announced that the asphalt work would be completed in the 29th calendar week. These measures are part of ongoing efforts to improve road infrastructure in our region and increase road safety. Specific details about the work can be found in the reports from the state company, which would like to provide information about the progress.

Together it's not just about a better road, but also about the safety of all road users. Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians will benefit from the planned renovations, even if traffic restrictions must be expected for a short time. As the future reports, construction sites are necessary to modernize and maintain road infrastructure. However, they can also affect the flow of traffic and therefore represent a certain challenge. This makes it all the more important to be informed about current construction sites.

Current construction sites and diversions

This week's renovation work will be carried out in various areas. Particularly noteworthy is the B 269, where significant work was carried out between June 13th and 19th, 2024. These included the renewal of the asphalt surface layer using cold construction over a distance of approximately 2.3 kilometers. Road users should therefore be particularly attentive, as traffic will be guided past the construction sites in a single lane during the work. It is recommended to adhere to speed limits to avoid additional disruption. saarland.de reports about it.

• Erneuerung der Asphaltdecke
• Gesamtlänge der Arbeiten: 2,3 Kilometer
• Verkehr wird durch Ampelanlage geregelt
• Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen bitte einhalten

To ensure smooth passage, a detour around the construction area is recommended. The alternative route runs via the B 41 (junction Bliesen), via the L 134 in the direction of Bliesen and further on the L 133 to Winterbach. The same diversions apply in the opposite direction.

Digital support for road users

In order to provide citizens with the best possible information about current construction sites, there is a new digital construction site tool on the platform safe-roads.org is available. This intuitive tool helps to quickly and easily display construction sites on an interactive map. Using this platform, residents and road users can access information about construction work, closures and diversions in real time. Transparency is ensured by only showing current construction sites.

On the map, the information is presented as clickable icons that make it possible to find out details such as location, time period and detour recommendations. In addition, a digital defect detector can be integrated to directly report damage to construction site equipment. This not only promotes road safety, but also communication between those responsible and citizens.

The coming weeks will be exciting, and we advise all Cologne residents to get information in good time and, if necessary, plan alternative routes. As always, stay patient and safe on the roads!
