Construction site wedding in Görlitz: summer holidays bring traffic chaos!

Construction site wedding in Görlitz: summer holidays bring traffic chaos!

Something is happening in Görlitz – and in several places! With the start of the summer holidays, three major construction sites will begin, which will cause some diversions and delays in traffic. The city has chosen this less traffic time because there are no school buses on the road and regular services have been reduced to a minimum. This leaves more time for the urgent work that needs to be done in the coming weeks.

A larger project concerns thePromenade Street, where the road surface is being renewed. On July 7th, the section between Friesenstrasse and Holunderweg will be completely closed. Afterwards, from July 8th to 18th, one lane will remain open during the work, with traffic being controlled by construction site lights. The diversion for traffic in the direction of Landeskrone leads via Reichertstrasse, Reichenbacher Strasse and Görlitzer and Schlaurother Strasse. Drivers from Kunnerwitz also have to switch to the S 111 and B 99.

Current construction sites at a glance

Another important point is thatZittauer Straße (B 99), where the tram tracks between Goethestrasse and Biesnitzer Strasse will be repaired from July 2nd to August 8th. Here, traffic is only routed out of town via Zittau Street, while in the city a diversion via Goethe Street and Sattig Street is necessary. At the critical intersection of Goethestrasse/Sattigstrasse/Blockhausstrasse, a traffic light will regulate traffic flows.

Besides, that isBiesnitzer Streetaffected. The renewal of the drinking water pipes between Pomological Garden Street and Zittau Street will take place here from July 2nd to 25th. This section will be converted into a one-way street in the direction of Zittauer Straße, while traffic heading into the city will have to take a detour via Sattigstraße, Melanchthonstraße and Lutherstraße (B 99). Caution is also required at the southern exit of the train station, as a mobile pedestrian traffic light will be set up here due to the increased traffic volume.

Additional traffic disruptions

But these are not the only construction sites causing traffic delays. From July 7th to August 6th there will be controls at the Polish border, which can also cause backlogs and traffic disruptions. Drivers should try to avoid this area and use the “Hagenwerder/Radmeritz (Radomierzyce)” border crossing.

In addition, a comprehensive road renewal measure will run from July 7th to August 22nd, which will result in another full closure. Traffic here is diverted over a large area via important streets such as Hugo-Keller-Straße and Obermarkt. Also the planning company Hoffmann-Leichter has comprehensive traffic and construction site management in place to efficiently coordinate construction work and minimize the impact on all road users.

The impact of these construction sites on local traffic should not be underestimated. Loud alles-lausitz.de Citizens should prepare for possible delays and adjust their routes in good time. Whether it's rush-hour traffic or leisure activities, the diversions affect many people, so forward-looking planning is required.

The city of Görlitz will therefore be affected by a large number of construction sites until the end of July, and all road users should be particularly careful when planning their routes. Stay informed to avoid future traffic bottlenecks!
