New bike path in Aitrach: A milestone for the region and the environment!

Expansion of the cycle path network in Aitrach

The ceremonial inauguration of a new section of the cycle path at the roundabout on the L 260 recently took place in the Bavarian Aitrach. This step is part of a more comprehensive plan to improve and expand the network of cycle paths in the region. Mayor Thomas Kellenberger explained the importance of this project for the community and its citizens.

The expansion of the cycle path may seem less relevant at first glance, but Kellenberger emphasizes that each individual section contributes decisively to improve the infrastructure. "It is worth fighting for these few hundred meters," he said, adding that the new connection is part of a larger network that has been significantly expanded in recent years. A lot was undertaken from the Edeka market to the Autobahn Bridge and further to the Ferthofen industrial area to promote the mobility of cyclists.

collaboration and commitment of the municipality

At the inauguration, the responsible planners, the 2nd mayor deputy Robert Schimpfle and representative of the construction company and Christian Hock, who provided part of the site, were present. This close cooperation underlines the commitment of the community to expand the cycle paths and make it safer.

Development of the cycle paths in the past 15 years

An important point in the development of the cycle path network was the construction of a new bridge over the Aitrach mouth at the campsite, which was only completed in 2021. This bridge made it possible to mark the path along the Iller as a public bike path. In addition, the cycle path was expanded to Ferthofen in 2012, which enlarged the entire network further. Kellenberger pointed out that the last 15 years had been shaped by intensive construction work that now lead to a linked and safe infrastructure.

future planning and views

The importance of this cycle path project extends beyond local mobility. It also contributes to upgrading the "Württemberg Allgäu" holiday region. Kellenberger announced that further connections to Lautrach in the Unterallgäu district and towards Aichstetten are planned. These new connections are not only important for citizens, but also promote tourism and the development of new areas.

FAZIT

The developments in the Aitracher Radnetz show how important the community invests in its infrastructure. The inauguration of the new section of the cycle path is a sign of progress and the vision for environmentally friendly mobility in the region. By creating safe and attractive cycle paths, Aitrach wants to contribute to more sustainable traffic and at the same time improve the quality of life of its citizens.
