Current construction sites in Potsdam: Traffic restrictions from August 25th on important roads, including diversions and closures.
Traffic jam chaos in Potsdam: construction work blocks important roads!
A series of construction work is currently underway in the historic city center of Potsdam, which is causing a lot of traffic disruption. Drivers and cyclists have to adapt to spatial restrictions around the individual construction measures, which range from fundamental renovations to specific road closures. The Tagesspiegel reports that there are restrictions throughout the city, especially around the Leipzig triangle and the Nuthestraße bridge over Horstweg.
Particularly noteworthy are the new construction sites, which will come into focus from August 25th. In the second construction phase, Schopenhauerstrasse will be partially closed until September 5th, so that traffic can only flow northwards. However, turning into Hegelallee is possible again. Detours lead from the north to Hegelallee via Pappel- and Jägerallee, while road users who want to go to Zeppelinstraße are directed via Golm/Eiche, Am Neuen Palais and Forststraße.
Further construction projects and restrictions
Steinstrasse in the Stern district is also on the list of construction sites. The road will be renewed here for two weeks from September 1st, but preparatory work will begin on August 25th with partial closures. Müllerstrasse in Babelsberg will also be closed for a month from August 25th between Turnstrasse and Pasteurstrasse as pipeline work is being carried out there.
Additional detours and closures must be taken into account for cyclists and drivers: Nuthestrasse only has one lane out of town, while Leipziger Strasse is currently not passable up to the “blu” at the Leipziger triangle due to new buildings and line work. Things can get tight quickly! Diversions for trucks over 7.5 tonnes have also been arranged, so that they have to travel widely via Berliner Straße/Am Kanal, Yorckstraße and Breite Straße.
Ending traffic jams
However, there is good news for some traffic jams in the city: work on Lessingstrasse in Babelsberg and Roseggerstrasse in Potsdam-West is coming to an end these days. It will soon be possible to drive through here again in a relaxed manner.
Overall, road users are advised to keep themselves informed about the current traffic situation and the individual diversions that the city has in place verkehrslage.de be provided to be informed. This means you always stay up to date and can plan your route accordingly. It's best to leave in good time, because you should arrive safely in Petershagen despite the constant construction sites!
To keep things clear, here is a brief summary of the current construction sites in Potsdam:
| Street | Type of blocking | Length of time |
|---|---|---|
| Schopenhauerstrasse | Halfway blocking | August 25th – September 5th |
| Stone Street | Full closure | September 1st – September 14th |
| Müllerstrasse | Blocking | From August 25th for one month |
| Finkenweg | Full closure | August 25th – September 5th |
| Kartzower Dorfstrasse | Blocking | From August 25th for almost two weeks |
The work is important for future traffic safety and infrastructure, but all road users should be patient. Stay strong, your city is renewing itself!
