Construction site chaos in Wilsdruff: Restrictions and protests threaten!

In Wilsdruff, a large construction site on Freiberger Straße ensures a lot of excitement and strained nerves among residents and road users. The work on the leaky gas pipeline is impetus from the Saxony Energy Energy Group, which will take some time. In this context, the entrepreneur Robby Heimrich makes it clear that a better organization and more machines could possibly accelerate the work. The project has turned out to be a lengthy process, with the work, according to the Saxony energy, went quickly and on schedule.

The local connection between Wilsdruff and Grumbach is closed until further notice. Drivers have to accept a detour of about twelve kilometers via Kesselsdorf and the B173. Since the construction work not only affects road users, but also business owners, the city council group "We Wilsdruffer" has started a collection of signatures together with the AfD in order to show their solidarity with the affected traders. Due to the circumstances, these have to struggle with a noticeable decline in their customers, since many customers remain away from nearby districts.

traffic chaos threatens

The situation is also complicated by another construction site on the S36, near the fire station. There, a leak on the gas line is repaired, which makes the road impassable for several weeks. The influence on traffic is caused by residents, especially if traffic jams on the nearby A4. Here, too, diversions have to be accepted: road users from the directions Nossen and Meißen have to accept diversions via various side streets, while public transport is also changed. Replacement stops have been set up to ensure accessibility.

In addition, the demand for a traffic light regulation at the Kleinbahnhof is loud in order to regulate the traffic flows better and increase security. Compliance with environmental protection requirements and communication with residents are important points that, according to experts, must be observed in construction site management. Future-oriented construction site management could be supported by digital solutions that would enable better planning and coordination, such as civitasconnect

lengthy project

The entire project to improve the gas line has been planned since 2015. But the actual road expansion is still not in sight and could be pending by the end of October 2025. The city council groups and entrepreneurs hope for a quick solution to the traffic problem in order to secure the existence of local traders and not to endanger the satisfaction of the residents and road users. According to Sächsische, the new construction site will start and include in addition to the exchange of the coming week Gas line also adjustments in the road area to avoid future inconvenience.
