Construction sites 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. The following interactive roadworks map shows the most important roadworks in the city area, such as main traffic routes.
Construction site map
Overview: roadworks, road closures, obstructions
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 local road between Steudach and Neuses (Am Lobersberg road) will be closed to traffic between the access to the highway service area and the Herzogenaurach northern bypass from Tuesday, February 18, until probably Wednesday, April 30, during the night hours (from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.). The reason for the closure is the toad migration. 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.
Full closure
The road will be closed to vehicle traffic from Friday, March 21 until probably mid-June. Work is being carried out on the bridge structure as part of the highway expansion. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to pass through the construction site. The detour for motor vehicle traffic is signposted and leads via Haundorf and past Niederndorf.
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.
Ginsterweg (Erlangen-Süd) will be closed from Monday, March 31 until probably the end of April. Maintenance work is being carried out on the canal there. The construction site is located at house numbers 17-19. Pedestrians can pass the construction site.
The civil engineering department of the city of Erlangen informs:
in the area of Böttigersteig / An den Kellern / kleine Bergstraße asphalt work will be carried out from Wednesday, 02.04.2025 to Friday, 04.04.2025.
Böttigersteig will be closed from Thursday 03.04.2025, 8:00 am to Friday 04.04.2025, 4:00 pm. The Böttigersteig cannot be accessed during this time.
We would like to thank you for your kindness and understanding.
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.
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 flushing vehicle from the company Karei 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 in advance for any inconvenience caused, as this work is essential to ensure the functionality of the public sewer network.
Due to weather conditions, the work will continue until around March 2025.

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 Eltersdorf 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.

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 in advance for any inconvenience caused, as this work is essential to ensure the functionality of the public sewer network.
Due to weather conditions, the work will continue until around March 2025.
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.
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.
The junction of Gerstenbergstraße and Beethovenstraße is being rebuilt. From Monday, March 10, until probably Monday, March 31, there will therefore be a full road closure.
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 until the end of October 2024. The reason for this is the work to rebuild the bridge structure as part of the highway expansion.
Haundorfer Straße between Häusling and Haundorf will be closed in the area of the highway underpass from Friday, March 21 (8:00 p.m.) to Monday, March 24 (5:00 a.m.). This was announced by A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG. As part of the construction work for the six-lane expansion of the A3 federal highway, the structure that leads the ERH3 district road and ER1 city road between Haundorf and Häusling under the highway is being rebuilt.
Detour
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.
The Nuremberg State Building Authority intends to construct a sidewalk and cycle path along the Herzogenauracher Damm on the state road St 2244 between Erlangen-Bruck and the junction at Erlangen-Schallershof. The planning for this was recently started. The Nuremberg State Building Authority announced this on March 17, 2025:
The approx. 600-metre-long measure, which is part of both the last cycle path construction program and the expansion plan for cycle paths on state roads currently being drawn up, is to be built
- start west of the Regnitzbrücke bridge near Erlangen-Bruck,
- follow the state road on the north side and
- end west of the junction at Erlangen-Schallershof.
A continuation of the footpath and cycle path to Kraftwerkstraße and over the Main-Danube canal bridge to the traffic circle at the Hutacker industrial estate is already being planned and prepared. The flood bridges in the Regnitzgrund area are also to be renewed as part of the project.
The measure is intended to improve local traffic conditions
- improved, traffic
- increase road safety and
- close the gap in the cycle path network between Erlangen-Bruck and Erlangen-Frauenaurach or Herzogenaurach.
Furthermore, it is intended to create the possibility for cyclists to pass the Regnitzgrund even during the flood period. The Nuremberg State Building Authority is responsible for the project and construction of the entire measure.
The cycle path is being planned in close cooperation and coordination with the city of Erlangen, whose 2030 transport development and mobility plan also attaches great importance to the project as a designated priority cycle route.
Due to the early stage of planning, it is not yet possible to make any concrete statements about planning parameters or the timetable. The Nuremberg State Building Authority asks for your understanding in this regard.
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.
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 online at www.schleuse-kriegenbrunn.wsv.
The civil engineering department of the city of Erlangen informs:
the Housing Area road remodeling is continuing.
In the eastern Johann-Kalb-Straße, the remaining work of construction phase 2 is currently underway and will be completed by April 4, 2025.
ESTW AG's work on the water supply will be completed by the end of March 2025. The junction with Hartmannstraße will then be expanded in anticipation of construction phase 3. This will avoid unnecessary multiple excavations. The remaining part of construction phase 3 is currently scheduled for 2026.
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.

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 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 in advance for any inconvenience caused, as this work is essential to ensure the functionality of the public sewer network.
Due to weather conditions, the work will continue until around March 2025.
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.

Bicycle traffic will be diverted via Luise-Kiesselbach-Straße and Doris-Ruppenstein-Straße. Motor vehicle traffic can pass from the west to the east.
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.
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.
