In Limburg is Westerwaldstraße, a key connection in the bridge suburb, in the focus of the construction work! Despite the traffic restrictions due to the blocking of the old Lahnbrücke, the importance of this street remains undisputed. A larger section, including the areas at Kaufland, is currently being renovated after smaller segments have already been renovated. But the construction work is not without surprises!

thick surprise under the asphalt!

The excavation pit has brought a shocking secret to light: a thick tar layer has hidden under the old asphalt! The city administration brings this unexpected discovery into trouble because the costs of the work increase considerably. Teer, which has been banned in road construction in Germany since 1984 and is considered a dangerous hazardous waste, now ensures additional stress. The dangers of the material are known and the city must now act quickly to deal with the situation safely.

Limburg's city administration had not expected this challenge, and now both security and the budget is at stake. The citizens are concerned - will the road be completed safely and in time? While the construction work is progressing, it remains to be seen how the city deals with this unexpected complication and what solutions it will provide to bring the construction site to the end.
