New shine for the Planitz market: road construction in Zwickau almost completed!

Something is happening in Zwickau – and not too close! The civil engineering department has recently published news about the renovation of the Planitz market and the work is picking up speed. According to the information from zwickau.de A section of Outer Zwickauer Strasse and Fichtestrasse has already been opened to public transport. This resulted in a comprehensive renovation, including new piping of the Wiesenbach.

As part of these positive developments, all media in this area were also renewed. The road now shines in new splendor after it was completely expanded and given a fresh asphalt surface. The finishing touches are currently being carried out on the new carriageway on Outer Zwickauer Straße, which runs over Planitzer Markt. The traffic-calmed area features a paved surface made of concrete and natural stone, and will be opened to traffic by the end of June.

Continuation of construction work

Further progress can be expected in the coming weeks, as construction work on Planitzer Markt continued after a winter break on February 3, 2025. The next construction phase focuses on the road superstructure of Outer Zwickauer Straße and adjacent open spaces, such as myregionalcompass.com reported.
