Full closure in Hohnstein: commuters have to prove patience!

Full closure in Hohnstein: commuters have to prove patience!

From June 30th, commuters will have to dress warmly in Saxon Switzerland, because the S165 in Hohnstein will be fully closed for six weeks. This not only has an impact on traffic, but also divides the city in two halves. Larger traffic jams are imminent here and the patience of the drivers is put to the test. Signs seem to be good that the construction site will take some time, since the upper street in Hohnstein remains closed to through traffic until August 8th. The reason for the extensive work is the defective piping of the Hohnsteiner Bach, which already led to flood in heavy rain. The situation is not optimal for residents and commuters who rely on new traffic tours.

What's going on in Bannewitz? There are positive news here: around 50 new jobs are in sight, thanks to the construction of the America restaurant "Timberjacks". Head of the gastructure, Thomas Kemner, has already announced that he would like to create several dozen jobs in different fields of activity. The personnel search should begin directly as soon as the opening date is determined. This development could not only boost the labor market, but also set positive economic impulses for the region.

Traffic situation in Hohnstein

Currently there are no alarming reports to drive, but the situation remains tense by the construction sites. Potential obstacles are joined in the varying dangers in road traffic, such as risk of slipping or poor visibility. Drivers have to be particularly careful, because even ghost drivers - the false drivers who are on the road against the direction of travel - also represent a serious risk.

Numbers and statistics

According to the latest issue of the report "Transport in Numbers" of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure , traffic statisics have been an indispensable source of information for over 50 years. The publication offers current values ​​for investments in the infrastructure, accidents and the mobility behavior of Germans. The numbers illustrate the importance of continuous improvement in the transport infrastructure, which is also of great importance for cities such as Hohnstein and Bannewitz.
