Cycle path offensive in Havelland: 2.1 million euros for safe routes!
Cyclists beware! There is fresh news in Havelland that is important for all cycling enthusiasts. An investment of 2.1 million euros will enable the renovation and expansion of the cycle path network. How Meeting point Brandenburg reported, the federal government will cover the construction costs, while the state of Brandenburg will be responsible for planning and execution. The aim is to expand the cycling infrastructure and repair damage caused by weather and roots that have seriously affected the current condition of the cycle paths.
Overall, the bike-friendly path will be renovated in two construction phases by June 2025. The existing cycle path will be widened from 2 to 2.50 meters to increase safety and comfort for all cyclists. With an impressive length of almost 4.4 kilometers, the project includes the complete renewal of the subsoil as well as the implementation of special protective measures to prevent root damage in the future.
A strong cycling network for Brandenburg
But that's not all! In addition to the local measures, there is also a long-term strategy. Brandenburg has set itself the goal of building a comprehensive cycling network for everyday traffic and tourist routes, such as Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning highlights. This strategy aims to use existing infrastructure and close gaps in the cycle path network so that cyclists can travel better and safer everywhere.
The commissioning of Rambøll Deutschland GmbH and FixMyCity GmbH shows how serious Brandenburg is about improving the cycling infrastructure. As part of the cycle network plan, cooperation with municipalities, districts and independent cities will be intensified in order to create a safe and continuous cycle network. This is intended, among other things, to improve accessibility to important locations such as schools and train stations and is part of the 2030 cycling strategy, which was decided in May 2023.
Strategic priority for the mobility transition
The cycling strategy has set itself the task of increasing the proportion of cycling to 20%. Transport Minister Guido Beermann emphasizes that promoting cycling not only contributes to improving road safety, but also represents an important component in the mobility transition. With financial resources increasing annually from 38 million euros in 2022 to 45 million euros in 2024, the expansion of the cycling infrastructure is firmly anchored. This not only improves the safety of cyclists, but also makes a valuable contribution to climate goals, such as AGFK Brandenburg emphasized.
Overall, the cycling landscape strategy in Brandenburg pursues seven fields of action that are intended to promote the development of everyday and tourist cycling infrastructure. A good hand in implementation involves intensive exchange and close cooperation with the various actors in the region in order to create a bike-friendly and environmentally conscious mobility culture.
The coming years in Brandenburg promise a bike-friendly experience for all cyclists - whether on the way to work or on enjoyable bike tours through nature!
