Construction site chaos in Potsdam: New closures from Monday!

Potsdam, Deutschland - in Potsdam it will be bumpy again! From next Monday, June 15, 2025, drivers will have to adjust to several construction sites and closures in the city. The reason: the city has made up a lot to maintain the traffic routes and supply lines and to adapt to the needs of the growing population. According to Tagesspiegel will particularly shape the streets in the coming months.

The section between Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and the Neuer Markt is blocked for the duration of the construction work. A semi-page one-way street is set up between the Neuer Markt and Werner-Seelenbinder-Straße, whereby the cars are only allowed to roll towards Breite Strasse. In order to secure the access to the street on the Neuer Markt, the entrance via the Sieferstraße and the exit via Schloßstraße to Breiten Strasse is led. Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, on the other hand, remains open for both directions between Yorckstraße and Schloßstraße, whereby a new traffic light was installed, which allows the bending right into the street on the channel. The construction work on Schloßstrasse is scheduled until the end of February 2026.
