Construction work on K22N: Rhein-Erft-Kreis warns of dangerous construction sites!

Bergheim, Deutschland - The construction work on the K22N district road, which extends between Bergheim-Oberaußem and the Horrem-Bedburg railway line, run accordingly, as the responsible positions of the Rhein-Erft district confirm. The subsoil for the street route is currently being prepared by removing the top floor and removing the remaining remnants.

After preparation, a mixture of lime and cement is used to ensure the stability of the surface. For the next steps of the construction project, which is expected to be completed by April 2025, trucks will be in constant use to transport required building materials. Depending on the weather, these activities can occasionally cause dust. The completion date is therefore closely linked to the weather conditions, which can often bring unpredictable obstacles in such projects.

Dangers by unauthorized entering the construction site

The district administration not only has an eye on the weather conditions, but is mainly concerned with the safety of walkers who, despite the prohibition signs, always enter the construction site. This curiosity of pedestrians is considered understandable, but the administration emphasizes the considerable dangers that truck, in particular, bring with them.

The demanding conditions on the unpaved paths mean that the trucks need a long braking distance and it is difficult for the drivers to avoid pedestrians. In view of the upcoming dark season, it is emphasized that the ban on entering should be strictly followed to avoid accidents. This is of great importance, especially for employees who serve the heavy machines and have to concentrate fully on their work.

complex construction projects require precise planning

The plans for the last construction phase, which also includes the crossing of the railway line, are not yet finalized. One of the first measures will be to lower the confluence of the L 276 into the L 361 (Kölner Strasse). This is necessary to ensure that the ramps do not become too steep. In addition, the track radius of the K 22N must be enlarged, since the expansion of the Erftbahn line requires higher train speeds. The track must be moved about 14 meters towards the upper vinegar.

In order to ensure the implementation of these complex projects, a feasibility study has been commissioned. This is intended to show how both construction projects can be brought into harmony, despite their different time frames, technically and economically. The bridge construction requires a temporary blocking of the railway line, which in turn makes the progress of the K 22N dependent on the approval of the interruption of rail traffic. This will significantly influence the development of the construction site in the near future.
