Full closure in Trattendorf: construction work on the L471 starts!

Full closure in Trattendorf: construction work on the L471 starts!

From Wednesday, July 9, 2025, the streets in Spremberg-Trattendorf will be a little quieter again. The third construction phase of the L471 state road has begun, and this will mean some traffic changes for residents and commuters. The work is expected to last until July 24, 2025, and during this period the area from Wiesenweg to Karl-Marx-Straße (Schwiber-Scholl-Straße junction) will be completely closed. Due to driving and parking bans, it is not possible to drive through this section, which will of course cause some inconvenience, reports Niederlausitz Aktuell.

There will be a diversion to maintain through traffic. The diversion leads from Zerre via Schwarze Pumpe to Spremberg and back. Residents who live west of Karl-Marx-Straße have the opportunity to cross the L471 via Zedlitzstraße and Alma-Riedel-Straße, but they should be careful on Saturdays, July 12th and 19th. This intersection will be closed all day on these days. It is advisable to park vehicles outside the construction area so that the work runs as smoothly as possible.

What's next?

The construction work on the L471 extends over several sections. The first section, which leads from the state border to Saxony to the Arthur-Becker-Ring, was completed on June 25, 2025. The second section, from Arthur-Becker-Ring to Wiesenweg, was completed on July 8, 2025. The final segment, which is now being tackled, extends to Karl-Marx-Straße. The original plan was to complete the construction work by the beginning of September, but good coordination and the pursuit of shorter diversions are now helping to move the work forward more quickly the state government of Brandenburg notes.

The need for construction sites in our cities is often a double-edged sword. On the one hand, they are crucial for improving road infrastructure, but on the other hand, they impose restrictions that affect daily traffic. The digital construction site tool from Safe streets could be a real win here. It not only offers an interactive map that shows current construction sites at any time, but also allows new construction sites to be easily reported. This means that citizens are constantly informed about closures, diversions and the expected duration of the construction work. A big plus for everyone who relies on the roads during this time!

It remains to be hoped that residents and road users will show understanding for the construction period. After all, every meter that is repaved is a step towards safer and better roads. And if we all have a little patience, these restrictions could soon be a thing of the past.
