Construction sites in Erlangen
A good 114,000 people live in our city. In addition, there are several thousand professionals who come to Erlangen every day to work. They are all on the move every day - on their way to work, to university, to shopping, to the theater, to school. And they are on the move on foot, by bicycle, by motorcycle, by car, by bus. To ensure that everyone reaches their destination safely, the city government is improving and rebuilding the road network, including sidewalks and bike paths.

Current road works and road closures
Time period: December 5, 2022 to December 31, 2023
The connecting road Neuses-Steudach (Am Lobersberg) is closed from Monday, December 5, 2022, to Saturday, December 31, 2023. As the Department of Planning and Construction of the city administration communicates, the full closure applies to the area of the highway bridge. There, the work for the six-lane expansion of the federal highway A3 is taking place. The detour is via Haundorf and Häusling. For pedestrians and cyclists - with short-term exceptions - a passage is kept open.
In Badstraße there was recently a road collapse in front of house numbers 3 to 5. Since then, Bad Street has had major deficiencies in the traversed area of these house numbers. Consequently, a timely solution to the problem is imperative to continue to ensure traffic safety.
The construction measure will with immediate full closure of Badstraße between Theodor-Klippel-Straße and Zeppelinstraße carried out.
Access to the adjacent residential buildings is still possible.
Unfortunately, obstructions due to construction site operations cannot be completely avoided. However, our goal is to keep these obstructions to the unavoidable minimum.
You can contact our building yard at Tel. 09131 / 86 2087 with pleasure.
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:
The measure includes the replacement of 183 m combined sewer and six manholes in the area of Bissingerstraße. The construction area is located between Aufseßstraße and Hans-Geiger-Straße. Through the replacement, a widening of the existing public sewer from DN 300 to DN 1000 is carried out in order to improve the hydraulic performance of the public drainage system.
The execution period planned for the measure is between the beginning of April 2023 and the end of December 2023.
In order to ensure a smooth and speedy construction process, it is necessary to fully close Bissingerstraße in the construction site area. It can therefore come during the construction period in the affected detour roads to traffic obstructions. Resident traffic will be taken into account and maintained. The planned traffic routing can be taken from the following plans.
Immediately affected residents will be informed by the drainage company of the city of Erlangen once again separately in the form of a letter or leaflet. For questions in the run-up to the measure, the responsible person in charge of the drainage operation of the city of Erlangen is available to you under the telephone number 09131 / 86-2108. In addition, the executing construction company will be happy to answer any questions on site.
Period: November 7, 2022 to April 28, 2023
The Elise-Spaeth-Strasse thoroughfare will be closed between Buckenhofer Weg and Langfeldstrasse from Monday, November 7, to April 28 next year. The reason is the relocation of supply lines by the Erlanger Stadtwerke AG. The work will be carried out in several construction phases. The access up to the building site is possible for the adjoining owners in each case.
Start of the measure "Trenchless sewer rehabilitation 2022 - catchment area RÜB 14300" on 07.06.2022.
The drainage company of the city of Erlangen informs:
The work includes pipe liner rehabilitation and partial repairs in closed construction (largely without excavations). The construction work is mainly limited to the Erlangen districts of "Rathenau", "Röthelheim or Röthelheimgraben" and "Sebaldussiedlung". In addition, isolated rehabilitation sections are to be carried out throughout the Erlangen city area. The areas to be rehabilitated can be taken from the attached plans.
The construction period is specified between 07 June 2022 and 31 December 2023.
In order to ensure a smooth and rapid construction process and thereby keep the restrictions for 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.
These traffic obstructions, however, usually amount to a short period, as the work can be carried out in a minimum construction time.
Affected residents will of course be informed by the drainage company of the city of Erlangen and the executing construction company in the form of a letter and leaflet in good time.
Under the following link it is possible to inform about the basic operation of trenchless sewer rehabilitation. Predominant execution variants in the Erlanger urban area are the glass fiber liner with UV hardening as well as synthetic fiber liner with warm water hardening.

The street Lerchenbühl in Alterlangen must be closed at the corner of Möhrendorfer Straße due to a construction site installation area incl. crane. As the department for planning and building of the city communicates, the blockage lasts until presumably 31 May. Provided was the blockage to 31 December.
Period: from 22 June 2021 until further notice
In the context of the regular control of traffic areas and engineering structures, it was determined on 22.06.2021 that in the area of the Pfaffweg near the viewing platform outbreaks in the rock below the Pfaffweg are present. The traffic surface has been undermined by the outcropping and is no longer stable in this area and therefore no longer safe for use by traffic. In order to exclude a danger for pedestrians, the Pfaffweg was closed to traffic on June 23, 2021. The entrances to the adjoining owners' properties remain.
The administration will examine the affected areas in a next step together with technical experts and work out solution suggestions for a durable and if necessary short term repair. Currently, a longer closure of the path is initially to be assumed.
Unfortunately, obstructions cannot be completely avoided. However, our goal is to limit these obstructions to the unavoidable minimum and to ensure the safety of road users.
As a contact, the civil engineering office under Tel. 09131 / 86 2450 gladly available.
For your concession and your understanding, we thank you very much.
General information about the measure:
Conversion of RÜB 11 Würzburger Ring - New collector
The improvement of the hydraulic situation as well as the reduction of environmental impacts by reducing the discharge water volumes of the public drainage system require connecting the collector line from the direction of Dechsendorf to the inlet of RÜB 11 at Würzburger Ring. For this purpose, it is necessary to lay a new DN 1200 sewer over a length of approx. 300 m, which will cross the Steinforstgraben immediately south of the Adenauer Ring. The new channel is to run subsequently centrally on the footpath and cycle track to the underground rain overflow basin.
For a better overview, a corresponding site plan is attached.
Furthermore, conversion measures are required to optimize the basin utilization inside the basin. These include the necessary M+E technology as well as concrete work (execution after completion of the channel work).
The green area north of the residential complex Würzburger Ring 43 is temporarily used as a construction site installation area, taking into account nature conservation. A use by the residents is only limited possible in this period.
After completion of the measure and clearing of the green space, the restoration takes place according to the specifications of the operation for urban greenery and the Office for Environmental Protection and Energy Affairs of the City of Erlangen. A goal is the creation and revaluation of the existing food habitat with suitable herbaceous flowering plants for the already resident trouser bee.
Planned traffic routing
To prevent a hazard for pedestrians and cyclists, it is necessary to fully close the sidewalk and bike path during the channel construction work. The construction site access is via the Odenwaldallee at the driveway to the Adenauer Ring over the sidewalk and bike path to the basin on the Würzburger Ring.
The traffic routing for pedestrians and cyclists coordinated with the traffic authority can be taken from the linked plans or following explanation can be taken.
The detour runs via Odenwaldallee, Kitzinger Straße and the Würzburger Ring parallel to the sidewalk and bike path. From the direction of In der Reuth, the detour leads over the wooden bridge over the Adenauer Ring and further over the above-mentioned path.
The bus stop "Würzburger Ring" can not be served in either direction during the construction period, the stop "Odenwaldalee" remains open.
The planned construction period is between the end of February and the end of August 2023.
FAQ - frequently asked questions
Erlangen has a road network of about 460 kilometers. Due to the high traffic load and the partially poor road conditions, construction measures are necessary for maintenance. In addition, there are modernization measures or new installations "under the carriageway". For example, changes are made to the sewer network or to the electricity and water supply lines, as well as in the telecommunications sector, as required.
To ensure that there are as few restrictions as possible for those participating in road traffic, the construction sites are coordinated in advance. This involves municipal departments, rescue services, the fire department and bus companies. In this way, rescue assistance in emergency situations is guaranteed at all times. School route safety and the detour of non-municipal traffic are also to be taken into account in the coordination of construction sites, so that a good compromise can be found for everyone involved.
If work is interrupted or not continued at a construction site, this can have various reasons. Examples include bad weather or the cooling of the freshly applied asphalt.
In the course of construction work, sometimes unforeseeable challenges arise. 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 budgeted for 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, the Deutsche Bahn AG, the Autobahndirektion Nordbayern or 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. Then the respective construction company or the private persons need a permit. This is issued by the road traffic authority of the city of Erlangen.
For the year 2023, the plan of the Department for Planning and Construction for road surface rehabilitation provides for twelve individual measures. 1.8 million euros have been budgeted for this. 2.1 million euros will be invested in the sidewalk and bike path network.
