Traffic chaos in Meißen: Fabrikstraße closed for four months!

Traffic chaos in Meißen: Fabrikstraße closed for four months!

From June 30th, the Fabrikstraße in Meißen will be completely blocked for the next four months. The reason for this measure is construction work for a new residential and business district that is intended to promote urban development. This restriction will probably remain by the end of October 2023, as the Saxon reports. Currently, vehicles can still drive from Moritzburger Platz towards Beyerlein-Platz via Fabrikstraße, but soon it will be "to take diversion".

The diversions for road users have already been determined. The detour takes place via Dresdner Straße and Zaschendorfer Straße. In this way, traffic will remain fluid in the next few months. Important to note for truck drivers: You have to use a local diversion via Dresdner Straße, Cliebener Straße and Neusörnewitz. Cyclists were also taken care of; You can use your own detour between Brauhausstraße, Cöllner Straße and Zaschendorfer Straße. Despite the blocking, access to the Brauhausstraße, OBI, Netto and other shops on Fabrikstrasse remains possible.

construction work in the old town

Not only the factory road is affected. In the old town area, on June 28th and 29th, traffic restrictions will occur due to the "Gassenzauber" event. The market, the small market, Heinrichsplatz, Theaterplatz and the school square, as the city of Meißen reports. Such events are a highlight and often ensure a rusty hustle and bustle, but also represent a challenge for traffic.

Another construction project is the renovation of the old Spaargasse, which will be completely blocked from June 16 to 27. The reason for this is work on a natural stone wall that are carried out during the period. These measures illustrate that, like many other cities, in the infrastructure, in order to meet the requirements of a growing population.

additional construction sites and diversions

The challenges for drivers and pedestrians do not decrease: further full and half-side closures can be expected throughout the city. For example, Auenstraße remains completely closed until July 17th due to the renewal of a drinking water pipe. August-Bebel-Straße is also affected, and the renovation measures will be worked on here until October. These different construction sites significantly influence the traffic flows and require good planning on the part of those affected.
