Construction site chaos in Kiel: Where the streets are now closed!

Construction site chaos in Kiel: Where the streets are now closed!

There are several construction sites active in Kiel on December 19, 2024, which will lead to significant traffic restrictions. The Fritz-Stavenhagen-Weg will remain closed until December 20, 2024 due to canal work. Here, dilapidated wastewater drains are being replaced. However, residents can access their properties in the evenings and on weekends. In addition, Prinz-Heinrich-Straße/intersection with Knorrstraße will be partially closed until December 20, 2024, as the stormwater drains there need to be renovated. Traffic will be reduced to one lane, while pedestrians and cyclists will not be affected kn-online.de reported.

Another important construction project is taking place on Werftstrasse, where demolition work on two dilapidated buildings will take place by December 31, 2024. Both northbound lanes of the road are closed and traffic is being detoured. Bicycle and pedestrian traffic must give way along the Gaardener Ring. Heidenberger Teichstrasse is also suffering from restrictions as a pressure pipeline will be laid there by the end of the year, which will result in temporary closures for pedestrians and cyclists.

Height control under bridges

Deutsche Bahn has installed digital height control on the Alte Lübecker Chaussee to keep trucks that are too high off the bridges. The headroom there is only 3.60 meters, and when the light barriers are crossed, a traffic light system is activated to stop traffic. This is done to prevent accidents and damage to infrastructure. If a vehicle that is too high is detected, it must turn around, which leads to temporary full closures. The city is relying on modern technology to increase traffic safety kiel.de describes.
