Kreisstraße 4 in Jarmshagen: Refurbishment ensures more traffic safety!

In Vorpommern-Greifswald, a dilapidated section of the district road VG 4 between the districts of Jarmsdorf Hof 1 and Jarmsdorf Hof 2 is currently being renovated. This measure should not only increase traffic safety, but also significantly improve driving comfort. According to the NDR, the costs for the renovation amount to around 430,000 euros and comprises a distance of almost one kilometer. With new asphalt cover layers and a road widening to five meters, the district road is now being brought up to scratch. The construction period is scheduled at two and a half months and for the safety of road users, the work is carried out with full closure of the street.

"There is something!" Could you say, because the need for renovation is undisputed. The previous section between Levenhagen and Jarmshagen Hof 1 was successfully completed last year, which shows that a good hand has been proven here. Increasing traffic safety is a central concern in the region, after all, the infrastructure must constantly be adapted to the needs of the citizens: inside. The work is now being launched and promise a noticeable improvement in the situation on site. NDR not only applies to drivers and Pedestrians who lead over this route.

parallel to the progress in Jarmshagen there are also significant developments in road construction. This is how the renovation of the bridge over the Nagold in Wildberg begins. This measure is directed by the federal government as a road construction carrier and brings challenges for traffic to themselves, since drivers have to expect detours and full closures. The bridge structure, whose year of construction goes back to 1957, had to be renewed due to serious defects that were found during a review in 2021. In this context, the new bridge is raised by 1.1 meters and receives an adapted drainage to avoid waterlogging during floods. LinkedIn informed about the measures that also contain one and bike path to improve the traffic situation.

In the context of all of these infrastructure measures, it is interesting to consider the costs and investments in German road construction. In 2023, more than 13 billion euros were invested in this area, even if sales had to record a decline of almost two billion euros. Nevertheless, road construction remains a central pillar in civil engineering, and the apprenticeships in this sector are very popular. The road builder is one of the most popular apprenticeships, which shows how important the shortage of skilled workers is here. Statista emphasizes that the number of opened bankruptcy proceedings in road construction rose to 30 in 2023, a worrying trend for the industry.
