Refurbishment work in Hamm: Derirance and construction site from August 5th

A large construction site in Hamm is imminent, which will significantly influence the traffic situation in the south of Hammer. At the beginning of August 2024, the city of Hamm begins with the repair of the Ludwig-Erhard-Straße/Ahornallee intersection and the neighboring streets. This measure is part of a comprehensive renovation program, the goal of which is to improve road quality and traffic safety.

traffic impairments through the construction work

The construction work starts on Monday, August 5, and should probably take two weeks under optimal weather conditions. During this time, drivers and bus passengers have to expect considerable traffic restrictions. In the first phase, a lane side between Dahlienstraße and the Rothebach is completely blocked. The redirected traffic routing includes that both directions are directed over the other side of the street.

diversions for private transport

The diversions concerned several streets in the area. Drivers who want to use Dahlienstrasse are diverted via the towing path, Anton-Voss-Straße, Lindenfelder Weg and Lilienstraße. The Ludwig-Erhard-Straße in the south is run via Caldenhofer Weg and Werler Straße, while the eastern direction is diverted via Caldenhofer Weg, Hohefeldweg and Ahornallee. For the street on Beisenkamp/Eschenallee, diversions via Werler Straße, Blumenstraße and on Beisenkamp are required.

effects on public transport

The city has also adapted the bus connections to continue to safely transport customers during this time. Bus line 9, which usually runs through these traffic axes, is diverted. The trips towards the south to the Akacienallee end at the “Schillerplatz” stop and start from there in the direction of Herringen. A pendulum bus, named as P9, will offer additional connections between the stops so that passengers can achieve their destinations.

security measures for pedestrians and cyclists

To ensure the safety of all road users, the traffic light system at the Ahornallee intersection is deactivated during the construction period. Thereupon a special pedestrian light is set up in the area of the Rothebach to offer pedestrians and cyclists safe crossing options.

costs and benefits of the renovation

The total costs for the current renovation measure amount to around 150,000 euros, as the city announced. Such investments are crucial to improve the city's transport infrastructure and ultimately increase security for all road users. Despite the temporary disorders, the renovation will have a long -term positive effects on traffic in Hamm.

Overall, the construction work in Hamm will not only affect direct traffic management, but also persuade the residents and commuters to choose alternative routes and means of transport. It is to be hoped that the announced work can be carried out quickly and without major complications.
