Flensburg: Construction work through traffic chaos until October 2025!

Flensburg, Deutschland - In Flensburg, the Technical Business Center (TBZ) has started today with extensive construction work on the street “Am Katharinenhof”. These measures will probably have a significant impact on traffic by October 2025. The first section concerns the area between the "Bauer Landstrasse/Am Katharinenhof" intersection and the Ramsharde school. As reported by the [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/schleswig-holstein/flensburg-einschraen-verbau-weit-in-der-nordstadt, regionflensburgnews-112.html), not only the road surfaces and cable are also installed.

Important for road users: The crossing area from the "Bauer Landstraße" from the south cannot be passed during the construction work. Anyone who comes from the north can only turn right. Detours have already been signposted to help residents and commuters across the construction site.

barrier -free expansion is progressing

The construction work is part of a larger plan that comprises several construction phases by 2028. The aim is to widen the sidewalks and to expand bus stops barrier -free. These efforts are in accordance with the amendment to the 2016 Disability Equality Act, which reinforces efforts for barrier -free building. According to the Guide barrier -free building, buildings should be accessible to all people, including people with motor, visual, auditory and cognitive restrictions.

The guide offers numerous help and explains how holistic planning for barrier -free building can look like. The focus is on the fact that new buildings and the redesign of existing buildings are easy to find, easily accessible and easy to use.

other construction projects in planning

parallel to the work in Flensburg, the barrier -free expansion in other regions is also progressing. An example of this is the Westfalen-leaf, which reports renovation in Unterstrasse. These are expected to run until October 2023, with closures in the eastern area of ​​Unterstrasse. Residents are allowed to drive to the construction site, but the accessibility of the business is given through diversions. Replacement stops have been set up because the original bus stops cannot be approached during the construction work.

Overall, these measures show the growing awareness of accessibility in urban development. The traffic restrictions may create circumstances, but they are a step in the right direction for integrative urban planning. Flensburg and other cities take responsibility to improve everyday life for all citizens.
