Groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of Steinstrasse: safety and innovations for Neuruppin!

A lot of work will soon be underway in Neuruppin: On June 16, 2025, the groundbreaking ceremony will take place for the extensive renovation of Steinstrasse, which is part of the L 167 state road. This important construction project is intended to improve traffic safety and accessibility and increase the attractiveness of the street landscape. Overall, completion is scheduled for July 2027, which is sure to make friends of the region elated. According to cityreport.pnr24-online.de, the renovation is being carried out by several key players such as Dr. Ina Bartmann, State Secretary for Infrastructure, accompanied Jan Juraschek, head of the building department, and Artur Dzasokhov, technical manager of Neuruppin municipal utilities.

The conversion of the Steinstrasse/Ernst-Toller-Strasse intersection into a roundabout is a central project to optimize traffic flow. The Neuruppin municipal utilities are also showing commitment: They are leading the renewal of the infrastructural networks for electricity, gas, water and district heating. The plan also includes renovation work on sidewalks and cycle paths as well as the creation of barrier-free bus waiting areas. This is intended to create a safe space for cyclists, and new parking options are also very popular.

Small detours, big progress

The construction work will be carried out in two phases, each taking around a year. In the first section, which extends from the end of the Seedamm to the L 167/Kommissionsstrasse junction, the Seedamm will be closed to motorized traffic from June 23, 2025. Naturally, pedestrian and bicycle traffic remains possible via the sea dam, and diversion routes for motorized vehicles have also been set. Residents of the Seetorviertel are already being informed about a one-way system for Fischbänkenstrasse and Seestrasse.

But something is not only happening in Neuruppin: progress cannot be overlooked in the construction work on the roundabout in Wandlitz, which began on October 25, 2021. According to bernau-live.de, the work is in its third week. Old shelves and lighting have already been removed and the old covering milled down. The binding layer is to be installed using processed mastic asphalt, which is characterized by its longevity. When will the construction work be finished? The entire project is expected to be completed by December 4, 2021, with zebra crossings planned at all four entrances to the roundabout.

A look into the future

For both projects, the city administration hopes to reduce traffic density and increase safety for all road users. Anyone who would like to find out more about the progress of the construction work can find all relevant information in the state company's construction site information system.
