Construction site chaos in Radebeul: Senior ignores road closure!

In the tranquil city of Radebeul, a construction site causes excitement: Kötzschenbrodaer Straße has been completely closed since July 7, 2025 until August 24, 2025. This measure is necessary to lay new low and medium-voltage cables as well as to expand broadband supply. The renewal of a transformer station is also on the plan. However, there are always road users who ignore the blocking-as in the case of a 72-year-old driver who recently drove his BMW into the construction site, did not care about it and even took advantage of the sidewalk to get on. An incident in which even Mayor Bert Wendsche and Béla Bélafi, the President of the Saxony State Directorate, had to avoid how Sächsische.de reported.

The construction workers reacted immediately, the ruthless driver adhered to and - after a heated word change - the police were called. The senior must now be responsible for the unauthorized drive of a suspended street; As a possible punishment, a warfare of 50 euros. As the police confirmed, this incident has so far been the only one of this kind in the time of the current construction site.
