Construction site chaos in Glashütte: This is how Hirschbach is affected!

In the Hirschbach district of the city of Glashütte, the confluence of Hermsdorfer Straße into Kreischaer Straße will be fundamentally renewed during the coming summer holidays. The full closure of this confluence begins with the start of the holidays and is expected to continue until August 8th. How sächsische.de reports, the expansion is part of the comprehensive work on Kreischaer Straße (K9023), which started in September 2024 under full closure.

The client, the district office Pirna, relies on a targeted diversion strategy. Regional transport Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Mountains (RVSOE) will use the old road for diversion. Large diversions via Niederfrauendorf, Luchau, Cunnersdorf and Reinhardtsgrimma are planned for national traffic. However, pedestrians and rescue vehicles are not affected by the full closure and can pass the construction site at any time. Due to the narrow structures in the construction site area, traffic is regulated by traffic lights.

effects on traffic

The measures for traffic redirection are essential for residents, traders and road users. During the blocking of the street, the bus stops in the area are not hit, so that a makeshift stop is set up at the Old Town Hall. For many commuters, this leads to unusual detours and temporal additional loads that you have to get used to.

In the past, construction phases in the region have shown that early communication about the traffic restrictions and the duration of the construction work is crucial to inform the affected residents and commuters. Information about the construction progress is helpful so that everyday planning continues to work. This is also discussed on the side of the municipality of Ortenberg, which in its report indicates that alternative diversion strategies have been checked, but could not be implemented in order to promote the construction work efficiently. This phase is scheduled from July 13 to August 7, 2020 and affects approx. 60 meters of the main street between important local contact points, such as the butcher's shop Albrecht Stigler/Bähr.

sustainability in the foreground

Not only the traffic situation is a central topic, but also sustainability. Engineers and planners must make sure that all environmental aspects are taken into account during the construction sites. The experts from Schüssler-Plan offer support for the selection of suitable construction methods and building materials for emission savings. A holistic view of the transport infrastructure and the development of needs -based solutions play an important role.

These upcoming construction work in and around Glashütte are not only a challenge for the residents, but also an opportunity to modernize the traffic infrastructure in the region and to adapt to the needs of the future. If you want to stay up to date, you should keep an eye on the current information of the responsible positions.
