Sewer damage in Lüneburg: Bastionstrasse closed for days!
Significant sewer damage was discovered in Lüneburg Bastionstrasse this morning, which will lead to traffic disruptions for a few days. The affected combined sewer has collapsed over a length of around ten meters between the Am Graalwall intersection and the entrance to the parking garage at the town hall. The safety of the road and the pedestrian crossing above it is at acute risk, which is why immediate measures had to be taken. According to [landeszeitung.de](https://www.landeszeitung.de/lokales/lueneburg-lk/lueneburg/kanal Schaden-in-lueneburg-bastionstrasse-fuer-mehrere-tage-gesperrt-NW74BV7F2NEJRHVP5O4CI7Q72I.html?outputType=valid_amp), the repair work will begin today, with Bastionstrasse completely closed on the damaged part must be.
The parking garage at Graalwall will not be accessible during the repair work. However, people with permanent passes can use the parking garages at the train station and at the cinema free of charge. Anyone who has already parked their car there can leave it, but cannot drive it again. In addition, free replacement parking spaces were provided in the western part of the Sülzwiesen from Thursday, September 4th. These are accessible via Am Bargenturm street, as the turning option into Bastionstraße is not possible until further notice.
Buses and other traffic affected
The situation also affects bus transport. As the Hansestadt Lüneburg reports, there are also areas of damage in the area between Wallstrasse and Sülztorstrasse that were discovered during a sewer inspection. As a result, the “Lambertiplatz” and “Am Bargenturm” stops in the direction of Jüttkenmoor are temporarily not accessible for bus route 5015. Passengers are asked to use the “Postamt” stop. Turning right from Wallstrasse into Sülztorstrasse is also not possible, which further complicates the traffic situation.
In order to detect such damage early in the future, regular sewer inspections are very important. These help protect the environment by identifying blockages and damage in sewer lines before they become major problems. According to sanitaer.org, such inspections are required by law and the intervals vary depending on the federal state. Modern technologies such as sewer TV and leak testing enable precise analysis of the condition of the pipes.
The Lüneburg city administration will continue to provide information about the progress of the repair work, which is expected to last until the middle of next week. All road users are asked to avoid the area and use alternative routes.
