Construction site chaos in Kiel: These streets are closed today!

Construction site chaos in Kiel: These streets are closed today!

Today, August 14, 2025, there are a number of construction sites in Kiel that pose challenges for drivers and pedestrians. In recent weeks, the city's construction management has informed residents about current road closures and diversions. The focus is particularly on the construction work on Beselerallee, which will last until September. According to kn-online the intersections are with Feldstrasse and Holtenauer Strasse affected until further notice.

The construction site on Beselerallee, in particular the closure at the intersection with Feldstrasse, is causing restrictions until August 15th. In this area, as well as between Waitzstrasse and Düppelstrasse, there is no passage for motorized traffic. Residents can drive through to the construction site, while the diversions lead via Waitzstrasse, Brunswiker Strasse, Holtenauer Strasse and Esmarchstrasse.

Further construction sites in Kiel

There is also a large construction site in Kiel-Brunswik: the complete closure of the intersection of Feldstrasse and Waitzstrasse will remain in place until August 15th. It is to be expected that the diversion routes will congest as usual. Meimersdorfer Weg is also expected to remain completely closed until today because the asphalt there is being replaced. Detours lead via Neumeimersdorf and Flintbek.

The sewer work on Timkestrasse in Kiel-Wellingdorf will also last until August 15th. Residents can drive past here to the construction site, which makes the situation a little easier for residents. Schauburgerstrasse is now only accessible on the road side to a limited extent, which is due to the sewer renovation until the end of August. Pedestrians still have adequate access, even if the one-way street rule applies.

• Die Baustelle Boiestraße am Südfriedhof für das Fernwärmeprojekt wird bis etwa zum 5. September in Betrieb sein, wobei die Fahrbahn eingeengt, jedoch befahrbar bleibt.
• Am Eggerstedtstraße/Wall kann es bis zum 12. September zu Vollsperrungen in Fahrtrichtung Schuhmacherstraße kommen, ebenfalls toppt die Einschränkung für Fußgänger:innen im Wall das Ganze weiter.
• Ein Blick auf die Alte Lübecker Chaussee zeigt eine Langzeitbaustelle, in der wegen der Erneuerung von Eisenbahnbrücken die Durchfahrtshöhe auf 3,60 Meter reduziert wurde. Verkehr wird hierbei wechselseitig durch eine Ampelanlage geregelt, um einem reibungslosen Verkehrsfluss zu folgen.

Traffic rules and safety measures

The new safety measures in the Alte Lübecker Chaussee are particularly noticeable: light barriers are intended to ensure that vehicles that are too high are stopped in front of the bridges. When the height control is triggered, the traffic lights automatically turn red and indicate turning maneuvers that could potentially cause further traffic disruptions. This certainly represents a challenge for road users, as verkehrslage.de also notes.

Aside from the Alte Lübecker Chaussee, there is also bridge work between Gaarden-Süd/Kronsburg and the Hamburger Chaussee, which is scheduled to last until the end of 2025. There is also a height restriction here – be careful not to duck your head!

In summary, today in Kiel offers a picture of construction sites and traffic restrictions that, above all, requires patience and good planning. All residents and commuters are advised to find out about the respective diversions and closures before starting their journey.
