The final expansion in the Hanseviertel East begins: residents informed!

The final expansion of the traffic areas and sidewalks in the Hanseviertel East is imminent. From Monday, August 4, 2025, extensive work will begin on the roundabout on Lübecker Straße, which will extend to the integration of Marga-Jess-Straße and Marga-Jess-Straße (north-south tangent). The construction work is part of the comprehensive plan to improve the infrastructure in Lüneburg, like Lüneburg Current reported.

Construction work is also planned on Anna-Vogeley-Straße in the commercial area in autumn 2025. In addition, Lübecker Strasse up to the combined heat and power plant, Carl-Gottlieb-Scharff-Strasse, Ilse-Cartellieri-Strasse, Wismarer Strasse and Marie-Diederich-Strasse will also be expanded with cross connections to Marga-Jess-Strasse. The total construction time is estimated to be around two years, which may involve traffic disruptions at times.

Traffic restrictions and resident information

The residents of the affected streets were informed about the construction work at a residents' meeting in August 2024. Residents must expect temporary restrictions, especially in underground garages and parking spaces. However, the walkability of the properties remains guaranteed the Hanseatic city of Lüneburg elaborates further.

As part of the construction work, Sparkassen Hanse Immobilien GmbH (SHI) will provide replacement parking spaces. Further information will be mailed to residents to keep them updated on developments.

Sustainable urban planning in focus

But the innovations in Lüneburg are not just limited to the road construction projects. The city has also set itself the goal of actively promoting the mobility transition. This initiative aims to promote new concepts and alternative means of transport without sacrificing comfort, such as the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport explained.

By promoting sustainable mobility, not only should motorized individual traffic be reduced, but pedestrian and cycling traffic should also be increased. The plan is to consistently improve the infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists. This includes the creation of pedestrian zones and continuous cycle paths, while at the same time meeting the need for housing in the city through the development of new areas.

Lüneburg's infrastructure is continuing to develop - with the aim of both increasing the quality of life of residents and ensuring sustainable, environmentally friendly transport. It is clear to everyone involved: mobility is crucial for coexistence in the city, and the upcoming construction work is a step into the future.
