Roadworks and closures in Erlangen
Around 120,000 people live in our city. In addition, there are several thousand professionals who come to work in Erlangen every day. They are all on the move every day - on their way to work, to university, to the shops, to the theater, to school. And they are on the move on foot, by bike, by motorcycle, by car, by bus. To ensure that everyone reaches their destination safely, the city council is improving and renewing the road network, including footpaths and cycle paths.
Construction site map
Overview: roadworks, road closures, obstructions
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:
The following work will be carried out in the period from the beginning of August 2024 until probably the end of September 2024:
In accordance with the requirements of the Self-Monitoring Ordinance (EÜV), the current condition of the municipal sewer manholes in the Alterlangen district will be inspected by the company Schnurrer Kanaltechnik GmbH.
For this purpose, the manholes are cleaned in advance by a Schnurrer flushing vehicle and then subjected to a leak test. To clean and inspect the manholes, the vehicles (vans to trucks) have to drive right up to the manhole covers. As these are usually located on the roadway, it is unfortunately not always possible to rule out the possibility of minor traffic obstructions. However, we are endeavoring to keep obstructions to a minimum. We also try to reduce the inevitable emissions (noise, dust, odor) to a minimum. In isolated cases, it may be necessary to postpone cleaning and inspection to the evening or night hours in order to prevent disruptions to public and private transportation.
We ask for your understanding in advance for any disruptions that may occur, as this work is essential to ensure the functionality of the public sewer network.
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.
A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG has announced that the Erlangen-Frauenaurach junction (direction Frankfurt/Main) of the A3 freeway will be closed from Friday, October 11, approx. 1:00 pm, until Monday, October 14, approx. 5:00 am. As part of the six-lane widening of the A3, the three-lane widening of the Frankfurt/Main direction carriageway between the bridge over the Main-Danube Canal and around Haundorf will soon be finalized.
Traffic will be diverted
Road users who want to leave the highway coming from the direction of Nuremberg will be diverted via the Erlangen-West junction. At the Erlangen-West junction, road users traveling in the direction of Nuremberg can rejoin the A3 and then leave the freeway unhindered at the Erlangen-Frauenaurach junction.
Immediately after the end of the closure of the exit ramp, two lanes of traffic in the direction of Würzburg will be shifted to the newly upgraded Frankfurt/Main carriageway. At the beginning of November, traffic in the direction of Nuremberg will also be shifted to the newly upgraded carriageway. Compared to the current roadworks traffic routing, road users will already benefit from the widened lane cross-section from this point onwards in the form of wider lanes.
At its meeting on 18.04.2023, the City of Erlangen's Building and Works Committee approved the redesign of the Bergkirchweihgelände west exit.
The construction work to redesign the west exit of the Bergkirchweih site is expected to be carried out from June 10, 2024 to December 20, 2024 .
Pedestrian traffic and car access to the properties on Böttigersteig will be possible at all times.
The construction work will be divided into two sections. During the first construction phase from 10.06.2024 until probably mid-October, access will be possible via the street "An den Kellern". Due to the ongoing beer garden operation, however, special care must be taken when driving on the road. In the second construction phase from mid-October, it will be possible to drive through the construction site via a construction road from Bergstraße to the properties. The access options are shown again in the appendices.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely avoid obstructions caused by the construction site. However, our aim is to keep these disruptions to an unavoidable minimum.
The site management of the civil engineering department will be happy to assist you on 09131 / 86 - 2975.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The start of construction has been postponed to October 14, 2024.
It will be necessary tocompletely close the bridge for a period of approx. 5 to 6 weeks in order to carry out the renovation work. Public traffic will therefore have to be diverted via Pappenheimer Straße or Kraftwerkstraße / Sylvaniastraße. Pedestrian and cycle traffic will not be affected by the construction work.
The stability of the entire bridge structure is not affected by the damage.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely avoid obstructions caused by the roadworks. However, our aim is to keep these disruptions to an unavoidable minimum.
Please contact the site management of the civil engineering department on 09131 / 86 - 2826. Thank you very much for your understanding.
On October 12, Kirchenstraße will be closed between Engelstraße and Altstädter Kirchenplatz from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. The reason for this is the "Frei Bordsteinkante" festival. There will also be a number of stopping restrictions.
The road surface including road markings in Damaschkestraße will be renewed.
The construction work is expected to take place fromTuesday, 10.09.2024, 6.00 a.m.untilFriday, 25.10.2024, 17.00 hrs.will be carried out.
During the construction period, it will not be possible to drive on or access private properties during the respective construction phases listed below. Areas not affected by construction work are open to local traffic in consultation with the construction company carrying out the work. As soon as the work in a construction section has been completed, it will also be reopened to local traffic until the final milling and asphalting work has been completed.
Due to the (through) pedestrian and bicycle traffic that continues despite the full closure, we are also forced to close the sidewalks at the beginning and end of the respective construction area for traffic safety reasons. Unfortunately, this means that Damaschkestraße can only be reached on foot from the side streets in the affected construction areas, even for direct residents. At the same time, the construction phases and construction times have been revised (see table).
The specified dates may vary depending on factors such as the weather or unforeseeable subsoil conditions. We ask you to inform yourself on site, as short-term daily changes cannot be made by post or similar.
In the area of the respective construction site, only pedestrian traffic is possible via the eastern sidewalk. This remains largely unaffected by the construction work and can be used with restrictions / obstructions due to the construction site barriers.
Work on the drainage channel or lowering will be carried out on or in front of the western footpath, so that this section will be closed. Pedestrian bridges will be installed at property access points and sluices will be kept free for crossing to the other side of the road.
Roads leading into the street can only be used as dead ends. One-way street regulations will be abolished.
A cycle path detour via Schallerhofer Straße will be signposted.
We ask you to park your vehicles outside the construction site area in good time before the start of the construction work in the respective section. If necessary, please also inform tradespeople or similar, in particular your employees, suppliers and other users, of the respective road closures / access options (delivery traffic) in good time.
Note on section 2: As part of the road surface renewal, the second construction phase will begin on Wednesday, September 25 and is expected to last until Friday, October 11. It covers the area from Ludwig-Sand-Straße to Siedlerstraße. For reasons of road safety, the sidewalks will therefore have to be closed at the beginning and end of the construction area. As a result, residents living in the immediate vicinity will only be able to reach Damaschkestraße on foot from the side streets.
Section | Planned construction time (variable) |
1 - Turning chamber incl. L.-Sand-Straße | 10.09. - approx. 25.09.2024 |
2 - from L.-Sand-Straße to Siedlerstraße | approx. 25.09. - approx. 11.10.2024 |

| Reworking of manholes / remaining work with RESTRICTED local traffic from the side streets | 21.10. - 25.10.2024 |
Unfortunately, obstructions due to construction site operations cannot be completely avoided. However, our aim is to keep these disruptions to an unavoidable minimum.
If you have any questions about the basic traffic management, please contact the Civil Engineering Office on 09131/86-2560.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:
In accordance with the requirements of the Self-Monitoring Ordinance (EÜV), the current condition of the municipal sewers in the Dechsendorf district, among others, will be inspected by the company Baierle Kanalservice GmbH.
For this purpose, the sewers and manholes are cleaned in advance by a Karei flushing vehicle and then inspected and scanned by a special camera. To clean and inspect the manholes and sewers, the vehicles (vans to trucks) have to drive right up to the manhole covers. As these are usually located on the roadway, it is unfortunately not always possible to rule out the possibility of minor traffic obstructions. However, we are endeavoring to keep obstructions to a minimum. We also try to reduce the inevitable emissions (noise, dust, odor) to a minimum. In individual cases, it may be necessary to postpone cleaning and inspection to the evening or night hours in order to prevent disruptions to local public transport and private transport.
We ask for your understanding now for any disruptions that may occur, as this work is essential to ensure the functionality of the public sewer network.
The work will begin in mid-July 2024 and is expected to be completed by November 2024.
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:

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.
The road surface including road markings will be renewed in Engelstraße between Hauptstraße and incl. extension Theaterplatz.
The construction work is expected to be carried out from Thursday, 17.10.2024, 6.00 a.m. to Thursday, 31.10.2024, 5.00 p.m.
The construction work will be under full closure of the road. Between the milling and asphalting work, from 18 - 28.10.2024, a lock from Schiffstraße to Kirchenstraße will be kept open.
Parking spaces and access roads on private land within the construction area cannot be used during the construction period. A zone for residents' parking will be designated at Theaterplatz.
In the area of the construction site, only pedestrian traffic is possible via the sidewalk. These will remain largely unaffected by the construction work and can be used with restrictions / obstructions due to the barriers on the construction site. If work has to be carried out in the sidewalk area, an emergency footpath will be set up on the roadway or pedestrian bridges will be installed.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely avoid obstructions caused by construction site operations. However, our aim is to keep these disruptions to an unavoidable minimum.
Please contact the site management of the civil engineering department on 09131 / 86-2560. Thank you very much for your understanding.
From Monday, September 2, to Friday, November 29, Fanny-Hensel-Straße will be closed to traffic in sections from west to east between Anne-Frank-Weg and Bernauer Straße. The reason for this is repair work on the water supply. Residents can drive to their properties in the roadworks area. Fire and rescue vehicles can also pass through the construction site.
The Bruck Kirche bus stop (west and east) is being made barrier-free. From July 22, 2024 until probably October 31, 2024, there will therefore be a half-sided road closure for the most part, and traffic will be regulated by traffic lights. However, a full road closure will be necessary for the asphalt surfacing work during the fall vacations, from October 28, 2024 to November 1, 2024.
If possible, an alternative stop will be set up for public transport. Further information can be found on the Erlanger Stadtwerke AG website under ESTW - Erlanger Stadtwerke AG - News & Diversions.
Plan of construction sections
Unfortunately, it is not possible to completely avoid disruptions caused by construction site operations. However, our aim is to keep these disruptions to an unavoidable minimum. Please contact the Civil Engineering Office on 09131/86 2759. We would like to thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding.
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.
Geisbergstraße will be completely closed from Monday, September 2, until probably Friday, December 20. The reason for this is repair work on the water pipe. The work will take place in several construction phases.
On the connecting road between Häusling and Haundorf (district road ER 1), there may be permanent red lights at the construction site traffic lights (approx. ten minutes each) on Tuesday and Wednesday, September 24/25, between 9:00 and 18:00 in the area of the highway underpass. The reason for this is the installation of a noise barrier.
The district road between Haundorf and Häusling is expected to be narrowed to one lane until October 31. Traffic will be regulated by traffic lights. The reason for the restriction is the construction work for the six-lane expansion of the A3 freeway between the Biebelried and Fürth/Erlangen interchanges. The structure that runs under the highway is being rebuilt there.
Due to renovation work on several blocks of flats, there are severe traffic restrictions. Heinrich-Hertz-Straße in Bruck will be closed until Friday, October 18
On 18.04.2023, the Building and Works Committee decided to redesign the public streets in the Housing Area. The redesign of the public streets in the housing area is intended to significantly improve the quality of traffic and the quality of life for road users in particular. At the same time, the living environment will be improved for the residents of the housing area.
The redesign of the housing area will be divided into 3 construction phases. This means that the accessibility of car parking spaces etc. will be largely guaranteed. The construction work is expected to take place
from 10.06.2024 to 29.11.2024
will be carried out.
The individual construction phases must be carried out with full road closures as far as possible. Temporary arrangements will be made for local traffic and pedestrians.
Unfortunately, restrictions due to construction site operations cannot be completely avoided. Our aim is to keep these restrictions to a minimum.
You can contact the civil engineering office at
Tel.: 09131 / 86-2759
will be happy to help you.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
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
The second construction phase of the redesign of the public streets in the housing area began on June 10. The area around the Georg-Zahn-Schule - Johann-Kalb- and Schenkstraße - will be redesigned in individual phases until the end of November. During this time, there will be severe restrictions in some areas. Temporary arrangements will be made for local traffic and pedestrians.
Why are these measures being taken?
The main aim is to significantly improve the quality of traffic and the quality of life for road users. At the same time, the residential environment will be improved for residents.
Koldestraße will be closed between Paul-Gossen-Straße and Stintzingstraße from May 21 until probably mid-December. This is due to district heating work being carried out by Erlanger Stadtwerke. According to the public utility company, the bus routes affected by the closure will be rerouted.
Langemarckplatz will be closed between Henkestrasse and Hofmannstrasse from Monday, October 7, until probably Friday, November 29, due to work on the district heating pipeline. The disabled parking spaces can still be used. Pedestrians can avoid the construction site.
Due to the laying of power cables, there will be road closures in Leimbergerstraße from July 8 until probably September 10. The work will be carried out in various construction phases, some of which will involve full road closures.
Leimbergerstrasse will be closed at house number 37 from Monday, September 16 to Friday, October 11. The reason for this is a construction site installation area. The detour will be via Richterstrasse and Gedelerstrasse.
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:
In the area between the junction Äußere Brucker Straße / Schorlachstraße - Leipziger Straße / Herzogenauracher Damm and in Leizpiger Straße between house numbers 8 to 19, sewer construction work will be carried out in the public road area using the open and closed (HDD method) construction method.
Start of construction: Beginning of July 2024
End of construction: October 2024
Scope:
- Approx. 60 m removal and disposal of an AZ pressure pipe
- approx. 80 m laying of a PE pressure pipe OD 250 using the HDD method
- Approx. 60 m laying of a PE pressure pipe OD 250 using the open construction method
- Construction of two inspection shafts incl. fittings
- Construction of an approx. 60 m long "flying" wastewater transfer line
The work is divided into two construction phases.
The first construction phase involves laying the pressure pipe by cut-and-cover in Leipziger Straße (Hs. no. 8-19), whereby a full closure is necessary due to the cramped conditions. Unfortunately, the access roads to the properties/garages directly affected by the measure cannot be accessed at times. From today's perspective, this is expected to take around one working week. As the client, we will of course work together with the construction company to create flexible and unproblematic access routes where construction progress allows. All properties will of course remain accessible on foot.
The second construction phase covers the area between the intersections "Schorlachstraße / Äußere Brucker Straße" and "Leipziger Straße / Herzogenauracher Damm". The pipes are being laid here using a closed construction method, with access to Leipziger Straße only possible via Fürther Straße during the course of this work.
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen and the company carrying out the work are making every effort to complete the project as smoothly, quickly and professionally as possible. Our aim is to keep obstructions and restrictions to a minimum at all times. Unfortunately, due to the scope and complexity of the project, it is unavoidable that there may be temporary disruptions and selective restrictions at one point or another.
Detailed information on the traffic routing can be found separately under this letter as PDF files for downloading.
In Mozartstraße, between Schuhstraße and Sieboldstraße, a one-way street must be set up in the eastbound direction from Monday, September 9 until probably Tuesday, October 8. The reason for this is telecommunications cable laying work. The detour for cyclists is signposted.
The full closure of the Neuses-Steudach municipal road is expected to be extended until Thursday, October 24. As part of the construction work for the six-lane expansion of the A3 federal highway, the structure that leads the municipal road under the A3 will be rebuilt. The responsible company, A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG, provided information about this.
First, the north-eastern section of the structure will be demolished and rebuilt with a new cross-section. This will be followed by the new construction of the south-western section. The subsequent new construction of the south-western substructure should then be completed by the end of 2025. The detour will be via Haundorf and Häusling. A passage will be kept open for pedestrians and cyclists - with temporary exceptions.
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:
In accordance with the requirements of the Self-Monitoring Ordinance (EÜV), the municipal sewers in the districts of Dechsendorf and Eltersdorf are being inspected by the company Baierle Kanalservice GmbH to determine their current condition.
For this purpose, the sewers and manholes are cleaned in advance by a Karei flushing vehicle and then inspected and scanned by a special camera. To clean and inspect the manholes and sewers, the vehicles (vans to trucks) have to drive right up to the manhole covers. As these are usually located on the roadway, it is unfortunately not always possible to rule out the possibility of minor traffic obstructions. However, we are endeavoring to keep obstructions to a minimum. We also try to reduce the inevitable emissions (noise, dust, odor) to a minimum. In individual cases, it may be necessary to postpone cleaning and inspection to the evening or night hours in order to prevent disruptions to local public transport and private transport.
We ask for your understanding now for any disruptions that may occur, as this work is essential to ensure the functionality of the public sewer network.
The work will begin in mid-July 2024 and is expected to be completed by November 2024.
Access to the large parking lot from the north is currently only possible via Münchener Straße. The reason for the closure is the planned demolition of the parking garage due to structural defects. The extensive demolition work began in February. However, the demolition has been delayed.
In the course of laying supply lines, Ritzerstraße will be fully closed in sections from west to east between Sieglitzhoferstraße and Drausnickstraße from Monday, September 2 to Friday, December 20. The work will be carried out in three construction phases.
At its meeting on 12.09.2023, the City of Erlangen's Construction and Works Committee approved the 2024 road surface renewal program, which is intended to ensure the safety of traffic routes in the city area as part of cost-effective maintenance measures.
The construction work to renew the surface course is expected to becarried out between April 15, 2024 and October 31, 2024 .
The construction work will be carried out on several roads and partly in sections, each under full road closurecarried out. The existing asphalt surface course will be milled off, repairs will be made to excavations and drainage pipes, fixtures will be adjusted, some edging and sidewalks will be renewed and a new asphalt surface course including markings will be produced.
Large-scale detour will be set up for through traffic and buses for all measures.
If sidewalks are also partially renewed in the course of road surface renewal in one section, the opposite sidewalk can be used. Otherwise, these remain unaffected by the construction work and can be used during the construction phase.
The individual construction measures and the associated dates are listed below according to the current state of knowledge:
Road surface renewals 2024 | |||

We thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding.
From August 26 until probably October 11, Römerreuthstraße will be closed at the junction in the direction of house number 29/25a. This is due to work for a sewer connection.
The public streets in the housing area are currently being redesigned. As a result, from June to the end of November, there will be some severe restrictions in the area of the Georg-Zahn-Schule - Johann-Kalb- and Schenkstraße. Temporary arrangements will be made for local traffic and pedestrians.
Why are these measures in place?
The main aim is to significantly improve the quality of traffic and the quality of life for road users. At the same time, the residential environment will be improved for residents.
Schulstraße will be closed between Mittlere Schulstraße and Pfarrstraße (at house number 10) until December 20. For the Bergkirchweih, however, the construction site area in Schulstraße will be temporarily cleared.
The construction work for several district heating house connections in Schubertstraße (at house number 3) is now in the second construction phase. The complete closure will continue until Friday, November 8.
One side of Sieboldstraße will be closed between Beethovenstraße and Mozartstraße until December 20, 2024 (extended). 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.
The closure in Südliche Stadtmauerstraße, between Goethestraße and Haupt-/Nürnberger Straße (pedestrian zone) will probably have to be extended until October 18.
Pedestrians can still pass the work site via a walk-through scaffolding on the north side. An appropriate detour has been signposted for bicycle traffic.
From September 30, 2024, the Nuremberg State Building Authority will begin the comprehensive renewal of the road surface on state road 2240 between Heusteg and the entrance to Dechsendorf. The construction work is expected to last until the end of October 2024. The road will be fully closed from October 7 to October 21, 2024.
Reason for the renovation
The state road 2240 is severely damaged by cracks, crumbling and rutting and needs to be completely resurfaced over a length of around 2.3 kilometers. Repeated temporary repairs in recent years have only been able to repair the damage in the short term. The comprehensive renovation is now intended to repair the road in the long term.
Construction phases and traffic disruptions
The renovation work is divided into three construction phases, which are associated with closures and detour:
September 30 to October 4, 2024:
Half-sided closure as a temporary construction site to carry out preliminary work.
October 7 to October 21, 2024:
Full closure for asphalting work. A large-scale detour route will be set up for all traffic. There will also be traffic restrictions in Dechsendorf during this time.
October 21 until probably October 31, 2024:
Another half-sided closure as a temporary construction site for rework and the restoration of verges, access roads and junctions.
Detour and traffic regulation
During the full closure from October 7 to October 21, traffic will be diverted from Alterlangen via the road "Am Europakanal" and then via Frauenauracher Straße, Niederndorfer Straße, Hans-Ort-Ring in Herzogenaurach and the district road ERH14 to Beutelsdorf, Untermembach and Heßdorf. The exact detour plan can be viewed on the website of the Nuremberg State Building Authority.
There will also be traffic restrictions in Dechsendorf during the full closure:
- There will be one-way traffic on Brühl Street from north to south (between the junction of Naturbadstraße and the state road) as well as a ban on entering Röttenbacher Straße from Naturbadstraße in a northerly direction (except for cyclists).
- Stopping is prohibited throughout Naturbadstraße. The speed limit there will also be 30 km/h. The bottleneck in the area of the Dechsendorfer Weiher will be regulated by a mobile traffic light system.
- Further mobile traffic lights for pedestrians will be installed at the junction of Brühl Street / Naturbadstraße / Röttenbacher Straße, Naturbadstraße at the junction of Loheweg / Egerstraße and Hegenigstraße.
Effects on public transport
Bus services will also be affected by the construction work. Particularly during the full closure, the large-scale detour will lead to delays and possible cancellations on the regional lines 202, 202E, 203, 203E and 205. The city bus lines 283 and N 27 will also be rerouted and bus stops in the Erlangen city area will be closed. The Naturbadstraße and Dechsendofer Weiher bus stops will be relocated. The connection to the Schulzentrum West and the Albert-Schweitzer-Gymnasium school will be maintained. The city bus routes will continue to run to the Grünauweg stop.
Information on the effects on city transport:
https://stadtbus.estw.de/aktuelles-umleitungen
Information on the effects on regional bus routes:
Construction site timetables are published at www.vgn.de
Footpaths and cycle paths
The footpath and cycle path between Dechsendorf and Alterlangen will be closed in the direction of Dechsendorf during the construction work. A detour will lead along the Main-Danube Canal and through the Heusteg industrial estate.
Further information and the exact detour plan are available on the website of the Nuremberg State Building Authority .

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 of the city of Erlangen.
This year, almost 7 million euros have been earmarked for ongoing road maintenance.
