renovation of Olewiger Straße: Effects on residents and traffic

The upcoming full closure of Olewiger Straße in Trier is a clear sign of the necessary maintenance of urban traffic routes. From Monday, August 12, 2024, the road will be closed to the Kaiserhermen to the Kaiserhermen to the confluence of Hermessstraße and at the fort on a distance of about 200 meters for two weeks.

important changes for traffic

The renewed asphalting of Olewiger Straße is a welcome measure for many residents, but it also brings significant changes in the flow of traffic. In addition to through traffic, the road is also inaccessible to residents during the construction work. Pedestrians and emergency services are treated primarily and have access to certain areas.

diversions for drivers

A prudent handling of the diversions is necessary. Alternative routes are offered for vehicles that want to drive from the altitude to the city center, which lead over the coal road and other streets. For the direction of travel from the city center to the altitudes, a detour via Ostallee, Bismarckstrasse, and a few other streets are planned. It is advisable to find out about the routes in advance to avoid long waiting times.

Special regulations for heavy traffic

An additional challenge is heavy traffic. Trucks with a weight of 7.5 tons or a height of over 3.80 meters must dodge over the Ruwertal. This route shift not only leads to longer travel times for these vehicles, but could also also burden the surrounding towns.

public transport connections

The renovation work will also have an impact on public transport. Two bus stops located in the construction site area are taken out. However, replacement stops are set up to ensure that the public transport connection is largely maintained.

conclusion: advantages through renovation

The comprehensive renewal of Olewiger Straße may bring short -term inconvenience, but in the long term it will help to sustainably improve the traffic conditions in Trier. The conversion shows how important regular maintenance measures are in order to meet the needs of a growing city. Residents and road users are asked to act flexibly and understanding during this time in order to contribute to the smooth implementation of the construction work.
