Cycle path revolution in Dessau: Albrechtstraße Ost will be fit for the future!

In Dessau-Roßlau something is happening on the streets-more precisely, on the bike path along Albrechtstraße Ost. The official release of this important traffic system took place today in the presence of Sven Haller, State Secretary in the Ministry of Infrastructure and Digital Saxony-Anhalt. After intensive construction work that started in July 2023, a section could now be released, which should significantly improve the connection between Dessau and Roßlau. The honorary values ​​are already fully focused on the new cycle path design, which is intended to significantly increase security for all road users.  Administration Dessau-Roßlau reports that ...

The bike path has been fundamentally renewed and now offers a lot that makes cycling more pleasant. Starting with a barrier -free sidewalk, which is supported by an optical and tactile control system. The special highlights include the newly created avenue with silver linden, which is not only shade -giving, but also highly resistant to dryness and heat stress. In addition, intelligent street lighting with radar and movement sensors ensures that traffic safety is further increased.

Various improvements for pedestrians and cyclists

on Albrechtstraße, a heavily frequented north-south-road, the traffic situation is defused for both cyclists and pedestrians. With the planting of new trees and the furnishing of benches, together with the renewal of the lighting, the use of the bike path and the adjacent sidewalks are made a lot more attractive. In the construction work, it is also ensured that the drinking water lines as well as electricity and data cables are renewed. MDR reports that ...

important is also good communication: In the city's construction site calendar, it is noted that the closures will last by the end of January 2024. This means that the residents know that they can expect the release during this period. In addition, in the previous year, the Albrechtsplatz was released for the public after a renovation, which is an optimal prerequisite for the new planning.

sustainable design in the focus

Another aspect of this construction measure is the climatic revaluation by the system of green strips and flower strips, which consist of native wild herbs and will thus promote biodiversity. The infiltration of rainwater on the green strip follows the principle of the sponge city. These sustainable measures are not only a contribution to the environment, but also speak a clear language: the focus is on promoting environmentally friendly bicycle traffic. The mobility forum emphasizes that ...

The total costs of the construction work amount to a proud 3.4 million euros. The city was supported with 90 percent of the eligible expenses from the federal program to promote the “City and Land” bicycle traffic. This shows once again how important bicycle traffic is for local politics and climate protection. The well -developed cycling infrastructure not only contributes to the safety of cyclists, but can also increase the tourist attractiveness of the city.

Overall, future planning also provides for the adjoining facilities on the west side of Albrechtstraße. The re -establishment of the western part of the historic Lindenallee is particularly emphasized here. With this vision, not only the immediate surroundings are upgraded, but also a piece of history is integrated into the modern design of the city.
