Cycle paths on the B102 in the Havelland: Refurbishment starts - be careful on the street!

In North Rhine-Westphalia, a lot is happening-especially in road construction. The State Road Systems of Brandenburg has now started with the comprehensive renovation of bike paths along the busy federal road B102. This measure primarily affects the Havelland and Brandenburg area on the Havel, such as rathenow24 Around 70 damages will be repaired in different sections in the coming weeks, and drivers as well as cyclists should be prepared for some restrictions.

The affected sections of the B102 include the routes from Golzow to Ragous, Halls to Fohrde and Pritzerbe to Premnitz. But it is not just working here. The B1 between painke and Jeserig will also be created until June 19, 2025, as well as other routes such as the B1 Plauer Landstraße in Brandenburg an der Havel. As a rule, the support layer, binder layer and cover layer are renewed. Finally, it is planned to complete the measure by the end of July.

traffic regulations and diversions

Important for all cyclists: They have to be redirected to the street in the course of the work. Drivers should expect speed restrictions of 50 km/h on the affected sections. These measures are part of the country's ongoing investments in the transport infrastructure. The Bundesstraße B102 has also been increasing further improvements since 2022 to increase mobility. A comprehensive construction measure, for example in the section between silo channel and the B1, has made an investment effort of 12 million euros.

This construction project not only includes the four-lane expansion of the B102, but also the improvement of the foot and bike paths, the construction of barrier-free bus stops and new lighting. In addition, important crossing aids for pedestrians are created. The original completion date was scheduled for May 2023, but there were delays due to personnel failures and delivery difficulties.

extensive measures for traffic safety

But the B102 is not the only project that is tackled as part of the traffic safety measures in Brandenburg. According to A current press release In 2023 alone, around 447 million euros were held in the preservation and expansion of streets, bridges and Cycle paths invested. For 2024, around 422 million euros are available for planning, investing and the operation of roads.

These investments are not only important for mobility, but also for nature conservation. Brandenburg attaches great importance to considering environmental protection and landscape maintenance in the planning of its road construction projects. In the event of inevitable interference in nature, compensation and replacement measures are planned to promote biodiversity and insect protection.

The expansion and renewal of bike paths on federal and state roads will remain a central topic for the next few years in order to meet the needs of road users. With around 20 million euros for the preservation and new construction of bike paths, 27 projects are funded in this regard.

Overall, the signs in Brandenburg are still on progress: New projects should help improve the traffic situation and to increase the accessibility of cities and municipalities. We stay on the ball for you!
