Complete closure in Rohrbach: roundabout is being extensively renovated!
An important renovation measure is imminent: Comprehensive work will be carried out on the roundabout on the L 119 in front of the town of Rohrbach in the Saarpfalz district between July 7th and 13th, 2025. [Saarland.de]. However, this also poses a major challenge because the roundabout will be completely closed during the construction work.
For all road users, this means that passage on the L 119 from Rohrbach to Kirkel or vice versa is not possible. The exact diversions have already been determined: Through traffic will be routed via the L 241 through Hassel to the L 111 to Niederwürzbach and on to the L 113 to Kirkel. In addition, access to the Festo factory remains guaranteed via existing emergency access roads from the direction of Rohrbach.
Important information about rerouting
Access to the Geistkircher Straße commercial area only works from the direction of Kirkel. Here traffic is controlled by a traffic signal system over a paved shoulder. This is an important point as the planners have tried to keep the disruption to residents and businesses as low as possible. Road users should adapt to the new situation and keep an eye on any traffic reports in order to be able to take diversions.
The Roos Groep, which specializes in tailor-made solutions in the area of concrete roads, is behind the construction project. The company not only offers high-quality concrete ceilings that can withstand heavy traffic, but also individual adaptations of the systems to the local conditions. Roosgroep.com informs that they also offer comprehensive advice on the design of roundabout systems, during which the local conditions and ground conditions are examined.
Planning and design of roundabouts
The design of a roundabout follows strict rules. According to Stvo2go.de, the traffic volume and available areas must first be checked. Determining the appropriate type of roundabout is crucial. The basic elements that go into the planning include the circular island, the circular path and the widths of the entrances and exits.
To ensure the safety of road users, access routes must be visible clearly and in good time. Compliance with regulations ensures that the new roundabout is not only functional but also safe. Wayfinding signs and traffic signs must be positioned appropriately to make orientation easier for both drivers and pedestrians.
Overall, this is an extensive construction project that will bring about a significant improvement for traffic in Rohrbach and the surrounding areas. Residents and commuters are invited to adapt to the changes and take advantage of the diversion routes.
If you have any questions or uncertainties, the press office of the State Road Construction Office is available. Every effort is being made on site to ensure that the work can be carried out quickly and efficiently without unnecessarily delaying road users.
