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.

There will be a full closure at the corner of Anton-Bruckner-/Gebbertstraße from Monday, April 28 until probably Friday, June 27. Work is being carried out on the district heating network there.

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.

As part of the construction work for the highway expansion, the Aurachtal Bridge is being rebuilt in two stages. The second part of the structure, which carries the Nuremberg lane, is currently being replaced. For this reason, the Bierweg cycle and service road will be closed again until Friday, May 9, around 6:00 pm. This was announced by A3 Nordbayern GmbH und CO. KG.

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.

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

The slip road onto the A3 freeway (Erlangen Frauenaurach junction) from state road 2244 coming from Erlangen in the direction of Nuremberg will be closed from March 26 until probably May 6 (has been extended). A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG would like to draw your attention to this. A detour has been set up. The reason for the restrictions is the six-lane expansion of the A3 highway in this area.

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.

In Gebbertstraße between Schenkstraße and Henkestraße, work is being carried out by Erlanger Stadtwerke on the district heating supply. The road surface is also to be renewed.

Start of construction: May 12, 2025 (planned was May 5)
End of construction: expected to beSeptember 15, 2025

During the construction work, Gebbertstrasse between Schenkstrasse and Henkestrasse will have to be completely closed to through traffic. Detour for through traffic are 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.

Gostenhofer Straße in Frauenaurach will be closed from Monday to Friday, May 5 to 9. Due to sewer renovation work, the area at number 30, between Fanny-Henselstrasse and Voltastrasse, must be closed. Pedestrians will be able to pass the construction site.

The Department of Planning and Construction of the City of Erlangen has announced that the restrictions in Hartmannstraße and the closure of Sophienstraße will last longer. Until Friday, May 9, Hartmannstraße between Thymianweg and Schenkstraße as well as at the intersection of Luise-Kiesselbach-Straße can only be used as a one-way street heading north (towards the city center). Sophienstraße is also closed at the junction with Hartmannstraße. Work is being carried out there due to a manhole collapse.

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.

Due to cable laying work, traffic on Henkestrasse and Fahrstrasse will be severely restricted from Monday, April 28. The work will last until Friday, May 23. The area along the Christian-Ernst-Gymnasium is affected.

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.

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.

From Monday to Friday, May 5 to 9, Jaminstraße (Erlangen-Süd) will be closed at house number 15 due to a mobile crane, according to the city's Department of Planning and Construction.

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.

Please contact the Civil Engineering Office on 09131/86 2759.

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

Due to work on the district heating network by Erlanger Stadtwerke, Glückstraße on the corner of Bismarckstraße has to be closed. The closure will last from Monday, April 28 until Friday, June 6. Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to pass the construction site.

The area at Mozartstraße 34 (Gebbertstraße junction) is closed until May 30 due to work on the district heating network. For the same reason, the area between Schellingstrasse and Hartmannstrasse will be closed until May 8. The detour will be signposted.

The footpath and cycle path along Niederndorfer Straße between Neuses and the junction with Herzogenauracher Straße will be closed from Monday, March 24, until the end of the year. According to the city's Department of Planning and Construction, the reason for the closure is the reconstruction of the junction between Niederndorfer Straße and Herzogenraucher Straße (state road 2244).

Closure of the slip road onto the A3 at the Erlangen/Frauenaurach junction

The slip road onto the A3 at the Erlangen/Frauenaurach junction from Niederndorfer Straße in the direction of Erlangen is expected to be closed until May 6. This has been announced by A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG.

Road users who want to join the highway on Niederndorfer Straße coming from Erlangen in the direction of Nuremberg will be guided via the yellow signposted detour via Hans-Ort-Ring to the "Adidas traffic circle" and from there back to the junction. Access to the A3 in the direction of Nuremberg from Herzogenaurach is unhindered.

The reason for the closure is the work for the six-lane expansion of the A3 between the Biebelried and Fürth/Erlangen interchanges. The Erlangen/Frauenaurach junction is being rebuilt there and Niederndorfer Straße is being adapted to the new geometry of the junction. The construction work is organized in a total of seven construction phases. They should be completed by the end of the year.

Pömerstraße in Eltersdorf will be closed at the level of property no. 9 from Monday to Friday, May 5 to 9. The reason is a mobile crane.

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.

The Department of Planning and Construction of the City of Erlangen has announced that the restrictions in Hartmannstraße and the closure of Sophienstraße will last longer. Until Friday, May 9, Hartmannstraße between Thymianweg and Schenkstraße as well as at the intersection of Luise-Kiesselbach-Straße can only be used as a one-way street heading north (towards the city center). Sophienstraße is also closed at the junction with Hartmannstraße. Work is being carried out there due to a manhole collapse.

Sonnenstraße in Eltersdorf will be closed until Friday, April 25. The reason is a mobile crane. Further closures are planned from

• Monday to Wednesday, April 28 to 30, and
• Tuesday, May 6, to Friday, May 9.

Traffic will again be diverted via the premises of the property at Sonnenstraße 20.

Tillystraße in Kriegenbrunn is closed to traffic as part of the renovation of the water pipe by Erlanger Stadtwerke. The area between Wallenrodstrasse and Kriegenbrunner Strasse will be affected until Wednesday, June 18. Depending on the progress of the work, residents will be able to pass up to the access roads to their properties.

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.

The junction with Widerlichstrasse 20-26 will be completely closed from Monday, May 5 until probably Friday, May 23. The reason for this is repair work on the water pipe.

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.
