Construction site chaos in Zwickau: two months closures from July 14th!

Construction site chaos in Zwickau: two months closures from July 14th!

From Monday, July 14th, greater traffic impairments will occur again in Zwickau. The city administration has announced that the intersection Crimmitschauer / Werdauer / Humboldtstraße will be blocked in two sections. This measure, which should take about 16 weeks, serves to avoid longer construction sites and additional closures, such as zwickau.de reported.

In the first section, Crimmitschauer Straße between the Werkefeit and Moritzstraße is expected to be fully closed at the end of September. At the same time, the Werdauer Straße to Bahnhofstrasse in Humboldtstraße is also closed for about 8 weeks. The work includes the renewal of water, sewage and power lines as well as the barrier-free expansion of the intersection. Another highlight of the work is the renovation of the asphalt covering. Particularly interesting: the drinking water pipe is renewed over 82 meters while the old line is pressed.

what's next?

A challenge will be the crossing of the Moritzbach, which takes place at a depth of 4.50 meters in the trenchless process. Pedestrians can use sidewalks, but have to expect partially necessary diversions. The driving relationship between the time of life and Humboldtstrasse remains to be accessed to a limited extent. The new power lines are laid by the Zwickau energy supply (ZEV), and the traffic islands on Crimmitschauer Straße are also converted.

The effects on traffic are significant. In this way, the Crimmitschauer Straße between Werdau and Moritzstrasse is fully blocked, with a diversion being signposted. There will also be changes in local public transport. Tram line 4 is diverted via Schumannstraße and Dr.-Friedrichs-Ring, which will lead to stopping of the ring coffee and Georgenplatz.

other construction sites in Zwickau

Another hotspot of traffic impairments are the construction sites on Helmholtzstrasse and Lengenfelder Straße, where there must be considerable restrictions by mid -August 2025. In Helmholtzstraße, for example, a full closure between Birkensteig and Wilhelmschachtweg takes place, while Lengenfelder Straße is closed on one side by the end of August.

• Helmholtzstraße: full closure by 11.07.2025 due to sewage house connection.
• Lengenfelder Straße: Half-sided closure until 29.08.2025 for channel and pipe network renewal.
• Pöhlauer Straße: full closure for power cable laying until 29.08.2025.

and this is just a small extract of the current construction sites, which include the Georgenplatz and the surrounding streets, where the renewal of the tram tracks is planned by the end of November 2025.
