Pritzwalk celebrates the reopening of Havelberger Straße after renovation!

Havelberger Straße in Pritzwalk shines in new splendor. After more than a year of construction, the street was officially released for traffic again. At a small celebration on Friday, to which the city administration, construction company, municipal utilities, residents and city councilors were invited, the reopening was duly celebrated. This renovation is one of the largest construction projects in the city in recent years and includes many important innovations to meet residents and inner -city traffic. MAZ-Online Reported of the official release of the street, the last construction phase, which includes 270 meters between Reepergang and level crossing, began on April 22, 2024.

This renovation was carried out in four phases, whereby there were partially completely closure. The mayor Ronald Thiel expressed his thanks to the patience of the residents and the reliability of the companies involved. It should be emphasized that a special surface was used in the asphalting work, which took place two weeks before the official release

generous equipment and sustainability aspects

The equipment of the project leaves nothing to be desired. 260 meters of concrete pipes for rain drainage were laid and 46 new house connections were installed. In addition, a crossing aid in the height of Reepergang ensures more security for pedestrians and cyclists. The greening is also not neglected: 24 newly planted Reddorne and 1200 beet roses should upgrade the environment. Nordkurier added that the renewal of the sidewalks and a comprehensive greening are also part of the project.

The renovation also included the renewal of all supply lines. Drinking water and sewage pipes were renewed by the water and wastewater association, while the Stadtwerke Pritzwalk were responsible for the gas and power lines. This project is financed with costs of around two million euros from the urban budget and additional load compensation.

But Havelberger Straße had a long history. Residents suffered from traffic noise for years, and an application for a speed limit was rejected in 2010. It was not until 2015 that a limited speed limit of 30 km/h for truck was enforced. The first plans for renewal began in 2017, followed by the design planning in 2020. In the preparatory phase, the Havelberger Straße/Parkstraße intersection was also renovated to improve rain drainage.

a step into the future

The Havelberger Straße is now not only technically up to date, but also barrier -free and green. Such projects are in accordance with the goals of initiatives such as Bluegreenstreet , which deal with the development of city green and the improvement of urban infrastructure. This future -oriented planning shows how street spaces can be designed as multi -talents in city quarters. The progress of the Pritzwalker renovation is therefore a sign of the positive change of sustainable urban planning.
