Major construction site from June 28th: Karl-Liebknecht-Straße becomes a restricted zone!
A major construction project is imminent: From June 28, 2023, Karl-Liebknecht-Straße in Leipzig will become a major construction site. The city of Leipzig, the waterworks as well as the transport company and Netz Leipzig are working hand in hand to complete the construction site by mid-October 2023. The total costs amount to around six million euros lvz.de reported.
The construction work is comprehensive: In addition to the renewal of tracks and contact lines over 550 meters, drinking water pipes over 430 meters are also being replaced and sewage canals are being renovated. Even the low-pressure gas line in the intersection area with Schenkendorfstrasse is being replaced. Above all, improving the guidance system for the blind and optimal cycle path routing are on the agenda.
Traffic restrictions
The construction site will result in significant traffic restrictions. Karl-Liebknecht-Straße will be closed to through traffic until the end of September 2023. Tram lines 10 and 11 will not operate in this area. Residents and restaurants in the area must expect significant disruption. From the end of July 2023, Schenkendorfstrasse will also be closed for three weeks, which will require additional diversions.
Another focus is on the tram lines: from the end of June 2025, tram traffic will be stopped for three months, which will also lead to diversions. Local bus traffic, including routes 60, 74, N9 and N60, will also be rerouted locally, which is already causing a lot of talk among local residents tag24.de determines.
Cycling in focus
Alternative routes will be set up for cyclists, as the construction work also includes an optimization of the cycle path. This means that bicycle traffic will be redirected via August-Bebel-Straße. All shops, practices and restaurants will remain within walking distance during the work, which is of great importance for residents.
The city of Leipzig has clearly shown a good hand in planning to maintain as many traffic flows as possible. Details on further diversions and solutions for drivers and residents will be published in the coming weeks. The digital route network plan up to 2026, which the transport companies are providing, will certainly be helpful in maintaining an overview. Information about this can be found on the transport company's website l.de shows.
