Fear of stable slope: truck ban in Lambrecht affected!

Stability problems in lambrecht

In Lambrecht, there is uncertainty about the stability of a slope above the railway line, especially in parts of Sommerbergstrasse. This was announced by the local deputy Tanja Bundenthal-Beck during a meeting of the construction and city renovation committee. The fears regarding the slope are mainly due to the cracks in the street that have been occurring for years.

Bundenthal-Beck informed that the Bahn AG plans to examine the slope in the near future. Due to the current location, a section of Sommerbergstrasse has already been blocked for trucks because its width is no longer sufficient to ensure a safe passage. The city has received the order to close the existing cracks immediately and to monitor the development of these damage through current technical monitoring.

renovation work and monitoring

The cracks in Sommerbergstrasse are symptomatic of a bigger problem: the street infrastructure has been suffering from constant damage for many years that have repeatedly caused repairs. Already in August the city council decided to tackle comprehensive renovation in which the old asphalt was milled and replaced by new asphalt.

The planned measures are not only important for road traffic safety, but also for the general trust of residents in the infrastructure. Bundenthal-Beck emphasized that Bahn AG was informed about the renovation work. A representative of the railway expressed concerns about the movements of the underground of the Sommerberg, which could potentially affect the stability of the slope at the local appointment. Full clarity about the Situation is only expected when the results of the upcoming investigations are available.

Overall, it turns out that both the city and the Bahn AG need close cooperation to solve the problems around Sommerbergstrasse. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report on www.rheinpfalz.de .
