New splendor for Celle's Hafen City: expansion of the residential streets started!

On Friday, November 28th, the city of Celle started the final expansion of the residential streets in Hafen City on the Allerinsel. As the Celler newspaper reported, the first construction phase includes the street An der Promenade from Elisabeth-Selbert-Weg to the street Hafenblick as well as the street Hafenblick itself, up to the entrance to the underground car park. The asphalt will first be milled away and the work is expected to take around three months, weather permitting.

Although some changes to traffic routing will be necessary, the underground car park can still be used during the construction period. The second construction phase is scheduled to begin next spring, which includes milling work on Herzogin-Anna-Weg and Hafenblick Street. Completion of this section is scheduled for early May.

Extensive construction work

In total, around 4,500 square meters of concrete paving will be laid in this expansion project. There are also around 980 square meters of drainage troughs, 17 street gullies as well as 19 new parking spaces and a retractable bollard on Hafenblick Street. In addition, the planting of 20 trees and the installation of six park benches with waste containers are planned. In order to illuminate the area well, 21 street lights will be installed. During this construction work, the pedestrian and cycle path bridge between the harbor and Speicherstrasse will be completely closed. The city of Celle endeavors to minimize disruption during construction work, but cannot guarantee that properties will not be accessible at times.

Another point that is important for the city is the planned bypass road for Celle. This measure aims to eliminate traffic bottlenecks and relieve the city of through traffic. How Niedersachsen.de explained, the relocation of federal highway 3 is to be carried out in several construction phases, with the total length of the route being around 23.9 km. The estimated costs are around 151 million euros.

Transport infrastructure under pressure

The changes to Celle's traffic routes are part of a larger trend in Lower Saxony and beyond its borders. In Bremen, for example, the transport infrastructure is also in demand. Various construction projects are intended to ensure the safety and performance of the infrastructure and expand the tram network. The project sponsors are in close contact in order to keep disruptions to road traffic and public transport as low as possible Construction Bremen reported.

Especially in urban areas with high traffic density, it is becoming increasingly important to develop new concepts and renovate existing infrastructure. The challenges associated with increasing traffic congestion are not only noticeable in Celle, but also in other cities. The solution approaches are carefully planned and implemented by those responsible in order to meet the requirements of the future.
