Construction sites and closures in Erlangen

The section of Luitpoldstrasse and Drausnickstrasse between Hartmannstrasse and Pranckhstrasse will become a one-way street leading out of the city for an estimated five weeks from Monday, June 23. This is due to work on the district heating network. During this time, city bus routes 284, 285, 294S and 296 will be detoured via Artilleriestraße. The stops Berufsschulzentrum and Hartmannstraße on route 294S, which are located towards the city center, cannot be served. The stop in Artilleriestraße in front of the drinks market will serve as a replacement.

Due to the Zollhausfest, there will be a number of closures and traffic restrictions from Friday, June 27 (5:00 a.m.) to Monday, June 30 (4:00 a.m.). Luitpoldstraße will be closed between Gebbertstraße and Bismarckstraße.

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 road will be closed to motor vehicle traffic from Friday, March 21, until probably July 12. Work is being carried out on the bridge structure as part of the highway expansion. Cyclists and pedestrians can pass through the construction site. The detour for motor vehicle traffic is signposted and leads via Haundorf and past Niederndorf. The closure was planned until mid-June.

From Tuesday, June 10, until probably mid-October, the area between house numbers 1 to 23 in Amselfeld will be closed. The reason for this is repair work on the water pipe. The detour via Möhrendorfer Straße, Lerchenbühl and Meisenweg is signposted.

From Tuesday, June 24, 3 p.m., there will be a number of closures and traffic restrictions due to the district church fair in Bruck. For example, Felix-Klein-Straße will be closed in a westerly direction between Langfeldstraße and Fürther Straße until Tuesday, July 1 (3:00 pm). In an easterly direction, the area between Fürther and Sandbergstraße is affected. There will also be a number of stopping restrictions and speed limits. A detour is signposted.

Buses run differently

During this time, city bus route 294 will take a detour via Äußere-Brucker-Straße/Paul-Gossen-Straße and Fürther Straße to its normal route from the Bruck Kirche stop and vice versa. The Buckenhofer Weg and Fürstenweg stops cannot be served in either direction. The Bruck Kirche stop and the Buckenhofer Weg stop on route 284 towards the city will be used as a replacement. The school run at 13:09 in the direction of Volckamerstraße will run on a loop via the Eichendorffschule stop. During the procession through Felix-Klein-Straße, Brucker Bahnhof, Tennenloher Straße and Fürther Straße on Sunday, June 29, from 13:00 to 15:30, city bus line 285 will run via Paul-Gossen-Straße and Günther-Scharowsky-Straße to the Max-Planck-Straße stop and vice versa. Line 294 runs from the Am Anger stop via the highway to Eltersdorf and back. An alternative stop has been set up on Eltersdorfer Straße. Further information on bus services is available online at: www.estw.de/aktuelles-umleitungen.

There will be traffic obstructions in the city center on Saturday, June 28, from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm. The reason for this is the historic bird shooting event organized by the Royal and Privileged Principal Shooting Society of Erlangen. During this time, they will be holding a large parade through the city center. The route runs from Altstädter Schießhaus via Martin-Luther-Platz, Hauptstraße, Nürnberger Straße to Rathausplatz.

The section of Luitpoldstrasse and Drausnickstrasse between Hartmannstrasse and Pranckhstrasse will become a one-way street leading out of the city for an estimated five weeks from Monday, June 23. This is due to work on the district heating network. During this time, city bus routes 284, 285, 294S and 296 will be detoured via Artilleriestraße. The stops Berufsschulzentrum and Hartmannstraße on route 294S, which are located towards the city center, cannot be served. The stop in Artilleriestraße in front of the drinks market will serve as a replacement.

The Elsterweg between Amselfeld and Krähenhorst will be closed to traffic from May 20 until June 27. Pedestrians will be able to pass the construction site. The reason for the closure is the renovation of the water supply pipes.

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

Felix-Klein-Straße will be closed to all traffic between Bruck Kirche and Schorlachstraße from Tuesday, June 24, around 3:00 pm until Tuesday, July 1, around 3:00 pm. The reason is the church fair.

Buses run differently

During this time, city bus route 294 will therefore take a detour via Äußere-Brucker-Straße/Paul-Gossen-Straße and Fürther Straße to its normal route from the Bruck Kirche stop and vice versa. The Buckenhofer Weg and Fürstenweg stops cannot be served in either direction. The Bruck Kirche stop and the Buckenhofer Weg stop on route 284 towards the city will be used as a replacement. The school run at 1.09 pm in the direction of Volckamerstraße will run on a loop via the Eichendorffschule stop.

During the procession through Felix-Klein-Straße, Brucker Bahnhof, Tennenloher Straße and Fürther Straße on Sunday, June 29, 2025 from 1 p.m. to 3.30 p.m., city bus line 285 will run via Paul-Gossen-Straße and Günther-Scharowsky-Straße to the Max-Planck-Straße stop and vice versa. Line 294 runs from the Am Anger stop via the highway to Eltersdorf and back. An alternative stop has been set up on Eltersdorfer Straße.

As part of the six-lane expansion of the A3 federal highway, the freeway slip road from the direction of Erlangen to the direction of Nuremberg is closed near Frauenaurach. The closure will begin on Monday, May 26 and is expected to end on Wednesday, July 30, 2025. The detour is signposted. Road users are asked to allow extra travel time.

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 is also restricted via the side streets. Anyone on a bicycle will be diverted. Pedestrians are not affected.

Bus services will also be diverted. Up-to-date information on the routes of the city bus lines can be found on the Erlanger Stadtwerke AG website 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 Mozartstrasse will be closed from Monday, June 16 until probably Friday, July 25. The reason for this is power cable laying work.

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.

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.

The civil engineering department of the city of Erlangen informs: The Housing Area road redesign will be continued.

The final construction phase - Johann-Kalb-Straße between the eastern end and the junction with Hartmannstraße - is scheduled for 2026.

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

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

The connecting road between Neuses and Steudach is expected to be closed until Saturday, July 12. The A3 Nordbayern GmbH & Co KG has informed about this. The reason is the new construction of the highway bridge in this area.

Detour

In the direction of Steudach, the detour route is signposted as "U1" via Haundorf and Häusling. In the opposite direction, the signposting is "U2".

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 Planning and Building Department, the reason for the closure is the reconstruction of the junction between Niederndorfer Straße and Herzogenraucher Straße (state road 2244).

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.

Der Entwässerungsbetrieb der Stadt Erlangen baut für Sie:

In der Fünfkirchener, Tolnaer Straße in Frauenaurach, der Löwenichstraße, Luitpoldstraße, Nürnberger Straße, Palmsanlage, Schillerstraße, Werner-von-Siemens-Straße und Ginsterweg in der Innenstadt und in der Willstraße am Burgberg werden im öffentlichen Straßenbereich insgesamt 24 Revisionsschächte in offener Bauweise ausgewechselt.

Bauende:            Ende Dezember 2025

Die genaue Lage der auszuwechselnden Revisionsschächte sowie Detailinformationen zur Verkehrsführung können den nachstehenden Planunterlagen entnommen werden.

Um die Einschränkungen für Sie als Anlieger in den einzelnen Straßenabschnitten so gering wie möglich zu halten werden die Arbeiten abschnittsweise ausgeführt. Dennoch ist es jedoch erforderlich, die Straßenbereiche über die jeweilige Bauzeit teilweise bzw. voll zu sperren. Es kann daher während der Bauzeit und in den betroffenen Umleitungsstraßen zu Verkehrsbehinderungen kommen. Der Anliegerverkehr wird berücksichtigt und aufrechterhalten.

Umfang:              24 Stk Abbruch Schachtbauwerke DN 800 
                              24 Stk Neubau Schachtbauwerk DN 1000 / DN 1200 / DN1500 / DN 2000

Unmittelbar betroffene Anwohner werden zudem durch den Entwässerungsbetrieb der Stadt Erlangen gesondert in Form eines Wurfblattes informiert. Bei Fragen zur Maßnahme steht Ihnen der zuständige Sachbearbeiter des Entwässerungsbetriebs der Stadt Erlangen unter der Telefonnummer: 09131 / 86-2691 zur Verfügung. Zudem steht Ihnen ebenfalls die bauausführende Firma für Rückfragen vor Ort gerne zur Verfügung.

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.

Tillystraße in Kriegenbrunn is closed to traffic due to 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 construction work, residents will be able to pass up to the access roads to their properties.

From Wednesday, June 18, until probably the end of August, the area between house numbers 3 to 14 will be affected.

The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:

The work includes pipe liner renovations and partial repairs using the closed construction method (without excavation). The construction work is mainly limited to the Erlangen districts of "Innenstadt", "Röthelheim", "Röthelheimpark", "Sebaldussiedlung", "Buckenhofer Siedlung", "Loewenich" and "Stubenloh". In addition, individual renovation sections are to be carried out throughout the city of Erlangen. The areas to be renovated can be seen on the attached plans.

The entire construction project, which consists of around 70 pipe liner renovations and approx. 70 partial repairs, is scheduled to begin in June 2025 and be completed by March 31, 2026 at the latest.

In order to ensure a smooth and speedy construction process and thus keep the restrictions for local residents as low as possible, it is necessary to close road areas in sections. There may therefore be traffic obstructions during the construction period and in the affected detour roads.

However, these traffic disruptions will generally be short-lived, as the work can be carried out within a minimum construction period (5 to 10 hours per paving section).

Affected residents will of course be informed in good time by the drainage company of the city of Erlangen and the construction company carrying out the work in the form of a letter and leaflet.

Due to the Zollhausfest, there will be a number of closures and traffic restrictions from Friday, June 27 (5:00 a.m.) to Monday, June 30 (4:00 a.m.). Werner-von-Siemens-Straße will be closed from the junction with Feldstraße, as will Luitpoldstraße between Gebbertstraße and Bismarckstraße. There are numerous stopping restrictions around the festival area.

Due to the installation of a new district heating pipeline, Wichernstraße is expected to be closed until July 25. It was planned to be closed until June 20. The work began in Paul-Gossen-Straße and will reach Äußere Brucker Straße in the next section.

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.
