Complete closure of Bastionstrasse: Severe disruption in Lüneburg!

Severe canal damage forces the city of Lüneburg to completely close Bastionstrasse. As of today, September 3, 2025, the area is officially no longer accessible due to the risk of the road and sidewalk subsiding. This measure, which is estimated to last two weeks, affects all road users who want to travel from the Rewe intersection on Schnellenberger Weg in the direction of Vor dem Neuen Tore. The only exceptions are residents, who continue to have access to their properties. Lueneburg current reports on the upcoming repair of the sewer damage, which is scheduled to begin on September 4, 2025, to ensure the safety of wastewater disposal.

Resident rights play a key role in this situation. According to experts, residents need to be informed about such closures as they have a legitimate interest in using roads, including the website of Herfurtner law firm shows. These rights relate not only to access to land, but also to appropriate signage and alternative routes so that restrictions on local residents can be minimized.

Detours and parking options

Since Bastionstrasse is no longer passable, the city is calling on all drivers to avoid the area as far as possible. In particular, traffic from the west to the city center or the city ring road will be redirected. In addition, a diversion will be provided for traffic from Reppenstedt via Jägerstraße to the south. Cyclists have the opportunity to push past the construction site area on the sidewalk.

The closure has its effects on parking garage users: The parking garage at Graalwall will not be accessible during the entire closure and has been temporarily removed from the parking guidance system. However, holders of permanent passes can use the parking garages at the train station and at the cinema free of charge. Anyone who is already parked in the parking garage can leave it, but cannot enter it again. In order to defuse the situation, free replacement parking spaces will be offered in the western part of the Sülzwiesen from September 4th, accessible via Schnellenberger Weg and Am Grasweg.

Public transport affected

The transport companies have also responded to the full closure: public transport line 5005 in the direction of Ochtmissen must be rerouted, with the Schomakerstraße stop no longer being available. The KVG informs passengers about changes through notices to ensure that everyone is informed in good time.

Such changes are not only logistical challenges, they also involve legal aspects. Residents who rely on public roads may have to live with restrictions on their access options. This is what the website explains Söhnlein law firm how residents' rights are regulated in such blocking situations. Although access roads may only be restricted for as long as is necessary for the necessary construction work, residents still bear the risk of economic disadvantages caused by the bypass measures.

Finally, it is to be hoped that the city will implement the necessary work quickly and efficiently and that all those affected will be well informed and supported in order to ensure smooth implementation and thus an early end to the inconvenience.
