Construction of the Helmut-Kohl-Allee: Ludwigshafen is preparing for a major project!

In Ludwigshafen there are major changes: the new “City West” city district along the future Helmut-Kohl-Allee takes shape. The planning phase goes into the crucial round-on December 17th, a public citizen dialog will take place in the Ernst Bloch Center, in which the commissioned planning offices present their designs. This work is the first step in the replacement of the Hochstraße Nord, which is to be demolished in the early 2030s, such as rheinpfalz.de reported.

The latest decisions of the city council, which fell on September 18, 2023, have cleared the way for the construction of Helmut-Kohl-Allee. The city council has approved the majority of the measure and thus followed the proposal of the building and property committee. This approval is a crucial step, since the funding commitments from the federal and state governments and the planning approval decision of the state company mobility apply. However, the consent remains subject to the reservation that the decision will not be contested, as ludwigshafen-diskuten.de mentioned.

construction schedule and first steps

This autumn is already going to prepare for the infrastructure project that is divided into three areas. Work on the West Bridge starts in March 2024, while the tender for the construction of the Helmut-Kohl-Allee is also planned for early 2024. The construction should be completed by 2031. In addition, comprehensive clearing work, which must be completed by the end of February 2024, are also carried out to make room for the new construction projects. These measures are necessary in order to be able to start the construction of the west bridge on time and ensure that nature is reforested afterwards by planting over 900 new trees.

Another important point is the move of a few hundred wall lizards, which must also be relocated to new habitats before the construction work begins. The city administration is thus careful to reconcile both the infrastructure projects and nature conservation during the construction phase.
