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.
