Construction site in Gifhorn causes excitement: dispute over curious sign!

Gifhorn, Deutschland - In Gifhorn, a newly furnished construction site ensures discussions and mocking comments on social networks. Since July 8, 2025, the Eyßelheideweg has been converted towards Winkel to the one -way street. The measure is part of an extensive road construction project that extends over a section between Am Tappenberg and Hermann-Löns-Weg. The barrier -free expansion of the bus pushing at stops such as Waldesruh and Vogelbeerweg is also promoted, which has been implemented since May 22nd. On July 3, 2025, the asphalt ceiling renovations began with a planned construction period of around eight weeks to further improve the infrastructure.

The construction site naturally also brings restrictions on residents, because the Eyßelheideweg is completely closed between the B4 and Hermann-Löns-Weg. For residual traffic, a one -way regulation is introduced towards the angle. In the coming weeks, disabilities and longer waiting times, especially during the milling work in calendar week, can be expected. Particular attention is paid to the asphalt installation, which is planned from July 28 to August 1, 2025. During these days, access to the land remains closed between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.

discussion about misleading sign

Another excitement is a new additional sign that was attached during the construction work. The wording "Line traffic Frei" and "residents on the property free" caused some confusion and is criticized on social media. A Gifhorner shared a photo of the sign in a Facebook group and drew attention to the unfortunate spelling. The city of Gifhorn reacted to the situation and explained that the sign was commissioned by a traffic safety company. Although the wording is not standardized in the road traffic regulations, it was chosen to avoid a full closure. A new sign is already commissioned, but remains in use until the new copy is delivered.

The city administration emphasizes that despite the difficulties for the residents, access for emergency services and local providers remains guaranteed at all times. In addition, the residents were informed about possible changes in the construction process, while remaining work will still be necessary after the summer vacation. The school bus line will also pass the construction site area as soon as the traffic routing is released.

extensive construction work in Gifhorn

A profound work is necessary for the entire measure. The construction volume includes 2.1 kilometers in length of the affected road train as well as the removal and installation of 100 shaft covers and 70 slide caps. The exchange of over 13,000 square meters of asphalt ceiling units is also on the agenda. These comprehensive work is not only limited to the street itself, but also take into account marking work for bicycle protection strips and pictograms that are planned in September 2025.

Despite the extensive construction work, the city of Gifhorn emphasizes the importance of the measures for future traffic safety and accessibility. Residents and road users are asked for patience and understanding during the construction phase.
