Construction sites and closures in Erlangen

Immerwahrstraße will be closed between the junctions of Cauerstraße and Martensstraße (private property) from June 13, 2024 until probably July 31, 2027. In addition to the roadway, the sidewalk in the work site area must also be closed. This is due to the need for a construction site installation area for the new Technical Chemistry construction project.

The street Am Heiligenholz in Tennenlohe will be closed from Monday, March 3, until probably Friday, March 21, at house number 10, where a truck-mounted crane will be erected.

The local road between Steudach and Neuses (Am Lobersberg road) will be closed to traffic between the access road to the highway service area and the Herzogenaurach northern bypass from Tuesday, February 18, until probably Wednesday, April 30, during the night (from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.).

The reason for the closure: as the days get longer and the temperatures get milder, the toads will start migrating to the wetlands again. A particularly large number of amphibians migrate around Steudach. According to documentation by the Naturschutzgemeinschaft Erlangen e.V., well over 3,000 amphibians cross the Steudach - Neuses local road during the spawning season. The closure is necessary to protect the amphibians, which are threatened with extinction.

Amselfeld road (between Membacher Weg and Meisenweg) and Krähenhorst road (between Meisenweg and Elsterweg) will be closed to traffic from Monday, February 24 until probably Friday, May 23. This is due to repair and new installation work on water and power lines by the municipal utilities. Local traffic is possible depending on the progress of the work.

The big carnival parade of the Brucker Gaßhenker takes place on Sunday, March 2. It starts at 14:00 at the Bruck market square (Fürther/Felix-Klein-Straße). The event will again require a number of road closures, traffic restrictions and stopping restrictions. Felix-Klein-, Bunsen-, Äußere Tennenloher-, Tennenloher-, Fürther Straße as well as the Bruck market square will be completely closed to traffic on Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00. Detour routes will be signposted.

Campingstraße in Dechsendorf will be closed from Monday, March 3, until probably Friday, March 14, at house number 57a. According to the city's Planning and Building Department, a concrete pump is being installed there. Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to pass the construction site.

Der Entwässerungsbetrieb der Stadt Erlangen informiert:

Im Bereich zwischen der Kreuzung Wilhelminenstraße / Drausnickstraße und der Drausnickstraße 132 werden im öffentlichen Straßenbereich Kanalbauarbeiten in offener Bauweise durchgeführt. Bitte beachten Sie, dass es sich hierbei um die Parallelstraße zur Drausnickstraße mit selbigem Namen handelt und nicht um die Hauptverkehrsstraße.

Baubeginn: Mitte Februar 2025

Bauende: ca. Juni 2025

Umfang:

- Auswechslung dreier Schachtbauwerke

- ca. 80 m Ausbau und Entsorgung Mischwasserkanals DN 400

- ca. 80 m Verlegung eines neuen Mischwasserkanals DN 600

Im Vorgriff der Arbeiten finden ab Anfang Februar 2025 Baumrückschnittarbeiten im Abschnitt zw. der Drausnickstraße 126 – 134 und Umverlegungsarbeiten von Gas- und Wasserleitungen im Kreuzungsbereich Wilhelminenstraße / Drausnickstraße statt.

Der Entwässerungsbetrieb der Stadt Erlangen, als auch die ausführende Firma sind sehr bemüht, das Projekt so reibungslos, zügig und professionell wie möglich abzuwickeln. Unser Ziel ist es Behinderungen und Einschränkungen zu jedem Zeitpunkt so gering wie möglich zu halten. Leider lässt es sich aufgrund des Umfangs und der Komplexität nicht vermeiden, dass es an der ein oder anderen Stelle kurzzeitig zu zulässigen Immissionen und punktuellen Einschränkungen kommen kann.

Detailinformationen zur Verkehrsführung finden Sie gesondert unter diesem Schreiben als PDF-Dateien zum Abrufen.

General information on the construction project:
New construction of RÜB 11510 with Eltersdorf pumping station:

The planned construction period is until August 2027.

Traffic routing:
Access to the construction site will be via Konrad-Haußner-Straße, which will be widened in one section for this purpose. The nearby playground will be fenced off from the road with construction fences to minimize potential hazards from construction traffic.

For a better overview, a corresponding site plan is enclosed.

The reason for implementing the measure "New construction of stormwater overflow basin 11510 with pumping station" is a water law requirement to reduce water pollution by significantly increasing the storage volume. The rainwater overflow basin is intended to temporarily store most of the combined wastewater from Eltersdorf during major rainfall events so that it can then be throttled and passed on to the Erlangen sewage treatment plant. The new construction is intended to reduce the environmental impact on the watercourse/Regnitz.

The new building will be constructed in two phases.

To ensure smooth operation, the northern half of the basin (approx. 1700 m³) and the new pumping station will be constructed and put into operation first. The old basin can then be dismantled and the area thus freed up can be used for the construction of the southern half of the basin (2nd construction phase), with a further approx. 1,700 m³.

Once the measure has been completed and the green space cleared, the areas used will be ecologically enhanced by developing areas of sandy grassland or fringes of perennials in the area of the covered basin chambers and planting new shrubs in accordance with the accompanying landscape conservation plan.

Site plan

VZ plan

Franzosenweg and Brandnerweg in Tennenlohe will be closed alternately between Monday, February 24 and Friday, March 21. Maintenance work will be carried out on the street lighting between Herringstrasse and Gründlacher Strasse and between Herringstrasse and Lannersberg.

There will be minor closures in sections of Fünfkirchener Straße in Frauenaurach until the end of March 2025. Reason: Sewer manhole renovations are taking place between Agnes-Sapper- and Bernauer Straße. Detour are signposted in each case.

Gabelsbergerstraße between the junctions of Gebbert- and Werner-von-Siemens-Straße at the level of properties no. 20 to 22 will have to be closed from Monday, July 8 until probably October 31, 2025 in order to set up a construction site area. The one-way traffic regulation in Gabelsbergerstraße will be lifted accordingly during this time, so that access to the private properties or garages of the respective residents is guaranteed at all times. Pedestrians can pass the work site at any time during the work via the northern side of the sidewalk.

The civil engineering department of the city of Erlangen informs:

In Gebbertstraße between Schenkstraße and Henkestraße, work will be carried out on the district heating supply and the road surface will be renewed in the public road area in a joint project with Erlanger Stadtwerke AG.

Start of construction: May 05, 2025
End of construction: expectedSeptember 15, 2025

During the construction work, Gebbertstrasse between Schenkstrasse and Henkestrasse must be completely closed to through traffic. Detour for through traffic will be signposted. In the immediate construction site areas, access for residents will also be restricted via the side streets.

Bus services will also be diverted. Up-to-date information on the routes of the city bus lines can be found on the homepage of Erlanger Stadtwerke AG at www.estw.de/aktuelles-umleitungen and on site via notices at the affected bus stops.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely avoid disruptions caused by the roadworks, but we aim to keep these to an unavoidable minimum. The work will be carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible. We would like to thank you in advance for your understanding.

In the east of the city, Gedelerstraße will be closed from February 17 until probably March 7. The closure was planned until February 24. The reason is the laying of power cables.

From Monday, February 24, there will be restrictions in Hartmannstraße out of town. Until probably Friday, April 18, Hartmannstraße between Thymianweg and Schenkstraße as well as in the Luise-Kiesselbach-Straße intersection can only be used as a one-way street heading north (into town). Johann-Kalbstrasse and Sophienstrasse will be closed at the junctions with Hartmannstrasse. Work will be carried out there on the water pipe and a manhole will be demolished.

The narrowing of the district road ERH3 or city road ER1 between Haundorf and Häusling will remain in place until the end of August 2025. The A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG announced that it was planned to remain in place until the end of October 2024. The reason for this is the work to rebuild the bridge structure as part of the highway expansion.

Road closed from March 7 to 10

Haundorfer Straße between Häusling and Haundorf will be closed in the area of the highway underpass from Friday, March 7 (8:00 p.m.) to Monday, March 10 (5:00 a.m.). This was announced by A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG. Road users traveling to Haundorf are requested to follow the signposted detour U1 via Frauenaurach. In the direction of Häusling, the detour route is signposted as U2. Further information is available on the Internet at www.a3-nordbayern.de.

Due to a burst pipe, there will be a full road closure in Heuweg at house number 23. The work is expected to last until April 25. The one-way street regulation has been lifted in this area.

From Monday, February 24, there will be a closure in Hofmannstraße at the level of house number 67 - Gebbertstraße junction. A district heating shaft is being demolished there. The work is expected to last until Friday, May 2. The detour - especially for cycle traffic - is signposted.

Hänflingweg in Alterlangen will be closed from Monday, February 3 until probably Monday, March 10. Reason: a crane is being erected at house number 6.

As part of the construction of the new Kriegenbrunn lock, the service roads on the Main-Danube Canal are closed at the level of the lock. The paths are expected to be unavailable until April 2032. Cycle traffic in particular will therefore be diverted via an east and west route between Frauenaurach and Hüttendorf and on the east side from Fürth-Vach. More information is available on the Internet at www.schleuse-kriegenbrunn.wsv

Current information from the water management office (of the federal government):

Until the end of February, the forest area east of the lock and south of Möhrendorf is not accessible to the public for safety reasons. In addition, the forest and service roads along the Main-Danube Canal are closed. Cycle and pedestrian traffic will be diverted by the shortest route. The reason for this is clearing work.

The work will again be carried out in winter for nature conservation reasons. This means that birds will not be disturbed during their breeding season the following spring. Important nature conservation precautions have also been taken. The trees were inspected by experts in advance of the upcoming felling work. The aim was to identify so-called "roost trees" for birds and bats. These trees and their hollows were photographed and inspected by tree climbers to ensure that neither birds nor bats were harmed when the trees were felled. Special attention was also paid to the protected "red wood ant". The nests of this ant species were carefully relocated to nearby areas throughout the felling area.

All work is also carried out under strict soil and drinking water protection regulations. The areas are therefore subsequently sown with a special grain and grass mixture in order to maintain the filtering effect of the soil. This also explains why the felling work was carried out in advance of the main construction work on the new Erlangen lock. With these measures, the Aschaffenburg Waterway Construction Office is making a decisive contribution to reducing the adverse effects on nature and the environment caused by the construction work as far as possible.

The street Im Gäßla in Tennenlohe will be closed until Friday, March 21. The reason for this is to repair a burst pipe.

Jaminstraße will be closed in the area between Aufseßstraße and Wehneltstraße from Monday, February 24 until probably Friday, March 21 due to sewer house connection work.

The Maximiliansplatz / Neue Straße thoroughfare will be fully closed from Monday, March 3 until probably Friday, March 14. This is due to structural repair work on the flyover between the University Hospital buildings (Magistrale). Motor vehicle traffic will be diverted via Hauptstrasse, Spardorferstrasse and Palmstrasse. Cyclists will be diverted via Östliche Stadtmauerstraße and Krankenhausstraße. Pedestrians can pass through the roadworks.

Mozartstraße will be closed from Monday, November 11 until probably April 30, 2025. This affects the area between house number 61 and the junction with Hartmannstraße. The reason for the closure is a new district heating system.

The area between Schellingstrasse and Hartmannstrasse will be closed from Monday, February 24 until probably Friday, April 18. The reason for this is work on the district heating pipeline. The detour will be signposted.

The Maximiliansplatz / Neue Straße thoroughfare will be fully closed from Monday, March 3 until probably Friday, March 14. This is due to structural repair work on the flyover between the University Hospital buildings (Magistrale). Motor vehicle traffic will be diverted via Hauptstrasse, Spardorferstrasse and Palmstrasse. Cyclists will be diverted via Östliche Stadtmauerstraße and Krankenhausstraße. Pedestrians can pass through the roadworks.

Nürnberger Straße between Werner-von-Siemens-Straße and the Hilpert-/Schenkstraße junction will be a one-way street from north to south (out of town) from Monday, January 20 until probably the end of April. The northbound carriageway is closed. Traffic heading towards the city center will be diverted via Gebbertstraße. Bus traffic will be diverted. Both directions remain open for pedestrians and cyclists. The reason for the closure is extensive sewer shaft renovation work.

The civil engineering department of the city of Erlangen informs:

Sections of the sidewalk in Oppelner Straße and Ratiborer Straße are being renovated.

Start of construction: 24.01.2025
End of construction: expected 28.02.2025

During this construction phase, the road will be closed on one side, which may lead to restrictions for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely avoid obstructions caused by the construction site. However, our aim is to keep these disruptions to an absolute minimum. The perimeter of the construction work can be seen on the site plan.

We would like to thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Ritzerstrasse will be closed from Monday, February 10, until probably the end of April. The reason: work to lay district heating pipes for Erlanger Stadtwerke will continue. The eastern part of the road (between property no. 22 and the junction with Drausnickstraße) is affected.

Between Mittlere Schulstrasse and Pfarrstrasse (at house number 10), Schulstrasse will be closed until March 31. The closure was originally planned until December 20.

As part of work on the water pipes by Erlanger Stadtwerke, Sebastianstraße in Tennenlohe between Weinstraße and Heuweg will be closed to vehicle traffic from February 24. The measure is expected to last until the end of April. The detour is signposted. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic can pass through the construction site.

Closure extended: One side of Sieboldstraße will be closed between Beethovenstraße and Mozartstraße until June 30th. Due to a construction site installation area, traffic will be routed from south to north on a one-way street. A detour is also signposted.

Due to the installation of a new district heating pipeline in Wichernstraße, the entire street will be closed in several sections. Wichernstraße will therefore be closed from Monday, February 24 until probably Friday, June 20. The work will begin at the end of Paul-Gossen-Straße. They will proceed bit by bit in the direction of Äußere Brucker Straße.

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 of the city of Erlangen.
