Construction site chaos: traffic island and pedestrian crossing now blocked!

A traffic island has disappeared in Karlstrasse at the Landesbank, since the Hohenzollerische Landesbank Kreisparkasse Sigmaringen carries out extensive renovation work at its main office on Leopoldplatz. The construction work includes the complete demolition of an extension from 1972 in Adlerstrasse and will take a period of two years.

The work that begins in January 2025 leads to numerous impairments in the area of ​​Leopoldplatz. A lane of Karlstrasse is required for the construction site facility, which reorganizes the lanes in Karlstrasse. Adlerstrasse is largely closed, but remains accessible to residents. Pedestrians are diverted via Fürst-Wilhelm-Straße. The demolition and dismantling measures are planned from January to July 2025, while the reduced extension is to be built from summer 2025. The completion of the entire construction work is expected in early 2027, such as Schwäbische.de reported.

renovation work in the Warstrasse

parallel to the work on the main office of the Landesbank, there are also extensive renovation measures in the Warstrasse. These start in September and include the renovation of district heating management and the dismantling of the old underpass. The bike and footpaths are severely affected by the restrictions, since the wheel lane on the north side between Karlstrasse and Leopoldstrasse is closed. The bicycle traffic is diverted from east to west via Sophienstraße and Reinhold-Frank-Straße to Kriegsstraße. Alternatively, there is a large-scale bypass via Sophien or Gartenstraße.

The crossing at Hirschstrasse is moved to Leopoldstrasse, and a provisional, traffic lights that are assured of traffic light is to be put into operation by spring 2025. The traffic regulations for car traffic also change in Leopoldstrasse both south and north of the Kriegsstraße. Appropriate diversions are set up for cyclists, both in the direction of travel north and south, so that they can pass the sections in both directions, such as karlsruhe.de reported.
