Scaffolding dismantling on Bahnhofstrasse: traffic chaos until the end of September!
Work to dismantle the scaffolding on the underpass on Bahnhofstrasse will begin on September 25, 2025. The local construction company has assured that the dismantling will be completed by Sunday, September 28, 2025. This measure is part of a comprehensive renovation that is intended to improve the traffic situation in the area.
The municipal administration has announced that it will ensure unrestricted traffic on Bahnhofstrasse from Monday, September 29, 2025, while the roundabout will remain closed at the same time. It is expected that the closure of the roundabout will create additional challenges for road users, which is why the municipality asks those affected to show mutual consideration.
Safety requirements for scaffolding construction
As the BGBau Media explain, scaffolding work on public paths, streets and squares poses considerable dangers for passers-by, road users and scaffolders. Fitters in particular can be endangered by vehicles if there is no safety area. It is therefore important to observe the legal framework for such work.
Before work can begin, a special use permit or a traffic law order from the responsible authority is required. These applications must be submitted at least 14 days before construction begins and must contain information about the construction site, location, traffic plan and traffic sign plan. It is a legal requirement that the designated person responsible regularly checks construction site security.
In addition, all people in public traffic must wear high-visibility clothing of protection class 3 in accordance with DIN EN 20417. Warning posts may only warn of traffic restrictions; Traffic control is the responsibility of the police. For more detailed legal information, please refer to Construction site regulations referred.
Traffic controls
In order to ensure safety during construction work, increased traffic controls will be carried out on Bahnhofstrasse in the coming week. These checks are intended to help ensure compliance with traffic rules and to identify possible road traffic obstructions at an early stage.
