Construction site chaos in Schwerin: Important roads closed from Monday!

Construction site chaos in Schwerin: Important roads closed from Monday!

Drivers in Schwerin, be careful! From Monday, June 30th, things will be really tight in the city, as several construction sites and even a sporting event are causing complete closures and diversions. These changes will not only affect traffic, but also the everyday lives of many residents.

Full closures and diversions

One of the first victims of the construction work is the Kleiner Moor street. The roadway at number 11 will be repaired here from Monday, and the asphalting work is expected to continue until July 1st. The road is completely closed during this time, but don't worry - diversions are clearly signposted so you don't have to get stuck in traffic.

But that's not all! From Tuesday, July 1st, a comprehensive sidewalk renovation will begin on Heinrich-Seidel-Straße. This will last until September 12th. While the Schwerin public utility company is laying electrical and fiber optic cables, the WAG is even installing a new drinking water pipe. The section of the street between house number 4 and Wismarschen Straße is affected, where both the road and the sidewalk will be completely closed.

Another bottleneck in the coming days will be the Green Road. The asphalting work between house numbers 34 to 40 will start here on Wednesday, July 2nd and is expected to last until July 3rd. A complete closure with diversion is also announced here.

Traffic restrictions for the Five Lakes Run

Another event that drivers in the city area should pay attention to is the Five Lakes Run on July 5th. There will be temporary traffic restrictions on various streets between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Among those affected are Schleifmühlenweg, which is set up as a one-way street between Lennéstraße and Johannes-Stelling-Straße, as well as Paulshöher Weg, Kalkwerderring and Tannhöfer Allee, which can only be reached via Schloßgartenallee.

Traffic and quality of life

The numerous construction sites and traffic restrictions do not only pose short-term challenges. They also show how important well-thought-out municipal transport development planning is. This not only affects traffic, but also the quality of life in Schwerin. Integrated planning that includes all forms of mobility not only promotes walking and cycling, but also helps reduce noise and air pollution. Such measures are particularly important to promote the transport transition in the city and to support sustainable urban development, such as Umweltbundesamt.de emphasized.

Conclusion

Whether construction sites or sporting events – the coming weeks will be tough for drivers in Schwerin. It remains to be hoped that the measures will be implemented quickly so that everyone involved can soon return to their usual everyday lives. Until then, plan your routes wisely!
