New everyday cycle path in St. Wendel: bicycle bridge over the Blies opened!
In St. Wendel it is now much easier and safer to cycle from Oberlinxweiler to the city center. The new everyday cycle path has been completed and the construction work has been successfully completed. As the district town of St. Wendel announces, the path is now open to traffic and can be used even before the official opening takes place. This is an important step in the urban cycling concept, which aims to establish St. Wendel as a bike-friendly city and promote sustainable mobility. sankt-wendel.de reports that ...
A standout element of this project is an impressive new bicycle bridge over the Blies.

Next steps and future plans
With the completion of the first section of the everyday cycle path, the city is well on track. The second construction phase is scheduled for 2025 and is expected to be completed in the second quarter. The plan is for the cycle path to extend from the Oberlinxweiler sports field to the St. Wendel city park. This creates a continuous and environmentally friendly transport connection that is also connected to the existing railway line.
The rapid implementation of these construction projects underlines the city's commitment to more modern infrastructure and the promotion of cycling. The original construction time was 30 working days, but was shortened to just 23 days through efficient work, meaning that Linxweilerstrasse could also be opened to traffic ahead of schedule. The city once again shows a good knack for innovative solutions!
