Construction site on Köthener Straße: one -way street and diversions until October!

From Monday, July 14th, the residents and road users of Köthener Straße in Dessau are challenged, because construction work for a new district heating line begins here. This is needed to better connect the Junkerspark industrial area to the existing infrastructure. Corinne Meyer from the Stadtwerke Dessau announces that the route of the line in the area of the bike path to the bus stop bay at the level of Köthener Straße 61. Everyone involved ask for your understanding of the upcoming restrictions that are absolutely necessary to successfully complete the project, such as [mz] (https://www.mz.de/lokal/dessau-rosslau/fernwarmeleitung-fur-junkerspark-werd-wachener-strasse-nur-noch-in-stricht-bearable- 4083841) reports.

The work is carried out in several construction phases. The first section lasts until July 25, 2025, while the Köthener Straße will only be passable in the city. The traffic -long traffic is diverted via the Auenweg. From July 28th to August 8th, road users must expect a full closure of Köthener Straße because the crossing is required. Then it continues with the processing of the right lane from August 11th to September 19, 2025, where again only a one -way regulation will apply. Finally, from September 22nd to October 17th, final work is planned at the intersection to Otto-Mader-Strasse.

traffic changes and effects on local transport

With the construction work, there are also adjustments to public transport. Bus line 17 is particularly affected, which is diverted in the direction of Kochstedt from July 14th to 25th and again from August 11 to September 19 from the “Plauthstraße” stop via Auenweg. Unfortunately, the “Bürgerstraße”, “Alte Straße”, “Köthener Straße” and “Junkerspark” are eliminated in these periods. Passengers who want to "Junkerspark" will advise to switch to the tram, while there are no restrictions towards the main train station. During the full closure, the bus line 17 is diverted in both directions via the Auenweg, and the stops mentioned are temporarily eliminated, as the Dessauer Verkehrsbetriebe informs.

The Stadtwerke Dessau emphasize that the changes are essential to improve the connection capacity of the Junkerspark industrial area and at the same time to expand modern district heating. With a well -controlled flow of traffic, those responsible hope to keep the difficulties caused by the project.
