B430 fully closed from autumn 2026: Big changes for Neumünster!
There are some significant developments coming up in Neumünster that will impact both the infrastructure and the social life of the city. The upcoming one is particularly eye-catching Complete closure of the B430, which will apply from autumn 2026 for a period of at least 2.5 years. This measure includes the urgently needed renovation between the A7 junction Neumünster-Mitte and Hohenwestedt and is part of a larger construction program that is becoming increasingly important due to the increase in construction activity in Schleswig-Holstein and the spring temperatures.
The B430 represents a central east-west connection in Schleswig-Holstein. This makes the lightning-fast reactions to the necessary renovations that are planned according to the Schleswig-Holstein State Office for Road Construction and Transport (LBV.SH) all the more important. These measures are not only important for motorized traffic, the situation for cyclists is also being taken into account Subsoil investigations, which will be carried out from July 15th to August 15th, 2024, improved. During this time, traffic will be directed below the speed limit of 50 km/h and dismounting is recommended for cyclists as they will be passed on foot.
Sports hall and leisure activities
A lot is also happening in the area of education and leisure: The Freiherr vom Stein School and the Theodor Litt School are receiving a new three-field sports hall, which is expected to be completed in the 2026/27 school year. The Klaus Groth School is also planning to build a new sports hall, which should be completed in 2027. These facilities are intended not only for sporting activities, but also to promote social interactions within schools.
In order to make the urban space even more livable, the city of Neumünster is planning to introduce one Green space regulations. This bylaw is intended to establish regulations for the use of parks, including noise and overnight stay bans. The aim is to better protect the city's beautiful green spaces and to regulate their use more clearly. The draft will be discussed in the planning committee and a decision in the council meeting could possibly come in two weeks.
Security and traffic
There was also an incident recently that brought security at Neumünster train station into focus. A suspected main perpetrator was caught after an attack on two men. The crime took place last Friday and fortunately the two victims only suffered minor injuries. The perpetrator is now in custody while the investigation continues.
In a further step to improve road safety, a speed limit of 30 km/h will be imposed on the busy commuter route from Neumünster to Kiel from the end of 2024. However, this measure has been delayed because the relevant signs are still missing. A noise protection report justified the need for the order because the noise pollution at 50 km/h is above the specified limit values. Changes to the traffic lights on the L318 are also pending and the 30 km/h signs in Bordesholm are due to be installed by the end of July.
In summary, it can be said that in Neumünster both progress is being made in the infrastructure and measures are being taken to improve the quality of life. It remains to be seen how these developments will unfold in the coming months and years and what impact they will have on the city and its citizens.
