August-Bebel-Straße: Large construction site starts-hidden treasures are waiting!

In the city of Sandersdorf-Brehna, a comprehensive renovation of August-Bebel-Straße is imminent. From the beginning of August, the street, which has been known as a patchwork made of gravel, asphalt and various paving stones for decades, will be completely revitalized. The goal is to sustainably improve the optics, usability and the infrastructure. The work will be carried out in two construction phases, of which the first starts, as jenatv.

The planned renovation includes numerous measures that aim to increase the safety and functionality of the road. A renewal of the road, the sidewalks, street lighting and rainfall and dirty water sewage system are planned. In addition, part of the drinking water pipe is being renewed and new green areas will be created to improve the quality of life of the residents, as well as explained by Wittich.

traffic routing during construction work

The renovation work will be accompanied by a full closure of August-Bebel-Straße. Traffic is diverted via Delitzscher Straße, whereby emergency paths are set up for pedestrians and cyclists. Temporary parking spaces for cars at the end of August-Bebel-Straße are also planned. It is important that waste disposal as well as access for the fire brigade and emergency services are always guaranteed.

Some trees must be felled due to root damage. But that is not the end of the green areas: After the work has been completed, 37 new trees of the species "City Bulne Chanticleer" are planted. These new plantings are intended to help enrich the cityscape sustainably and to bring more green to the area.

investments in the future

Overall, the costs for the renovation work amount to around 2 million euros, of which the city of Sandersdorf-Brehna provides around 1.4 million euros. The financing takes place in stages depending on the progress of the construction phases. Information events are also planned for the residents to inform about the measures and to promote exchange.

This renovation measure is part of a greater movement to improve the infrastructure in German municipalities. The German Institute for Urban Studies (Difu) estimates that around 372 billion euros will be needed by 2030 to maintain and expand rail networks, streets and paths. Motorized traffic causes a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions, which is why it is essential to develop and implement sustainable traffic concepts, reports [Difu] (https://difu.de/presse/Pressemitteilungen/2023-08-mit-mit-investiftungs-in- Infrastructure-der-kommun-

The project of August-Bebel-Straße shows that a lot can be done at the local level in order to meet the requirements of modern, environmentally friendly mobility and at the same time to keep an eye on the well-being of the residents.
