Construction Sites and Road Closures
About 120,000 people live in our city. In addition, several thousand commuters come to Erlangen every day for work. They’re all out and about every day—on their way to work, to the university, to the stores, to the theater, or to school. To ensure that everyone reaches their destination safely, the city administration is continuing to improve the road network, including sidewalks and bike paths. The following interactive construction map and announcements show the most important construction sites and road closures within the city limits.

FAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
Erlangen has a road network of around 460 kilometers. Due to the high traffic load and the poor condition of some of the roads, construction measures are necessary for maintenance. In addition, there are modernization measures or new installations "under the road". For example, changes are made to the sewer network or the electricity and water supply lines as well as in the telecommunications sector as required.
The construction sites are coordinated in advance so that there are as few restrictions as possible for road users. Municipal departments, emergency services, the fire department and bus companies are involved in this process. This ensures that rescue assistance is guaranteed at all times in emergency situations. School route safety and the detour of non-urban traffic must also be taken into account when coordinating roadworks so that a good compromise is found for everyone involved.
There can be various reasons why work on a construction site is interrupted or not continued. Examples include bad weather or the cooling of the freshly applied asphalt.
Sometimes unforeseeable challenges arise in the course of construction work. For example: damage to the sewer network, cavities in the subsoil, non-load-bearing soils - clear need for action. This unforeseeable work takes time that was not taken into account and thus leads to an extension of the construction period. Bad weather can also cause a delay.
The city of Erlangen is responsible for many construction measures and supervises or coordinates them. However, Deutsche Bahn AG, the Autobahndirektion Nordbayern and various utility companies also carry out construction work. As soon as a construction site has an impact on road traffic, the city of Erlangen is responsible. The respective construction company or private individuals then require a permit. This is issued by the road traffic authority.
