Construction site chaos in Potsdam: Unexpected closures and diversions!

Construction site chaos in Potsdam: Unexpected closures and diversions!

Potsdam, Deutschland - If the streets in Potsdam currently appear like a single large construction site, it is right! In the city center and other central areas, work is carried out vigorously, which leads to numerous restrictions in the flow of traffic. The city administration has now announced that the Schopenhauerstrasse between Hegelallee and Luisenplatz will now be blocked in sections. There are work on shafts and rain sequences, but don't worry: there is a lane in each direction, so that the cars continue to come through.

But that's not all. From Friday to Sunday from 5 p.m., Lindenstraße will be closed to an experiment for a car -free city center. The aim is to give the pedestrians and cyclists more space. Another excitement is the restrictions on Drewitzer Straße. Here the street between Erich-Weinert-Straße and the level crossing is renewed, which also leads to a block. In this area, drivers have to count on diversions across the street on Buchhorst, Arthur-Scheunert-Allee and Heinrich-Mann-Allee.

Current construction sites and their effects

The Nuthestrasse is also narrowed in the area of ​​the Horstweg Bridge, whereby the driveway is blocked by Friedrich-Engels-Straße. This makes it uncomfortable for commuters, especially for commuters. There is currently also a special focus on Heinrich Mann-Allee, which is closed in the city between Friedhofsgasse and Brauhausberg. Here the road users have to expect diversions.

• Ketziner Straße: Construction of a roundabout for the new residential area Krampnitz with half -sided closure, regulated by mobile traffic lights.
• Gutenbergstraße: Sections are closed due to the new building of a district heating line.
• Schloßstraße between Friedrich-Ebert- and Werner-Seelenbinder-Straße: also blocked for the same district heating project. Access to the new market is possible on the Sieferstraße.
• Zeppelinstraße in Potsdam-West: Here, too, the street between Schafgraben and Kastanienallee is only limited.

A look at other important streets shows that it is not exactly calm in Potsdam. Both Leipziger Strasse and the Behertstraße are affected by closures. Transports for motor traffic and cyclists are not possible on Behertstraße, which requires diversions. The diversion for cars to the north goes via Hans-Thoma-Straße. For trucks over 7.5 tons apply spacious diversions, so that good planning is essential.

special traffic tours

In addition, the Leipzig triangle makes a name for itself, where Friedrich-Engels-Straße is closed in front of the main train station towards Babelsberg. A new tram tour is being built here. If you are traveling by car, you can avoid Babelsberger and Friedrich-List-Straße or Heinrich-Mann-Allee and Horstweg, while two lanes are available in Heinrich-Mann-Allee. You also have to expect restrictions in several places at the sidewalks - especially at the tram stop at the main train station.

The city of Potsdam's transport information website always keeps all residents and road users up to date with the current construction sites, closures and any alternative routes that may result. The numerous work could cause trouble temporarily, but ultimately improving the infrastructure is good business for everyone.
