New road closures / obstructions

Dornburger Straße

• Type: Half-sided closure + sidewalk closure
• Location: between Nordschule and An der Eule
• Duration: 23.9. - 08.11.2024
• Reason: Reconstruction of the streetcar catenary system
• Details: Dornburger Straße must be fully closed at certain points for the installation of the masts.

What is being done?

• From September 23: In preparation for construction, the company TS Bau is installing so-called search slots to identify the location of cables or other obstacles. This helps to avoid damage during the subsequent foundation work. The work is carried out in the sidewalk area. Depending on the specific conditions in the construction area, short-term obstructions for pedestrians and/or car traffic are to be expected.
• The pipe foundations for the new overhead line mastswill be laid from the beginning of October. A pile driver will also be used, which may lead to increased noise. This construction phase will take around two weeks.
• The catenary masts will be installed from October 28. This work will be carried out at night at around ten locations. This will also require selective closures of Dornburger Strasse and Naumburger Strasse, as the masts will have to be lifted over the overhead line from the road. This work can only be carried out during times when there is little traffic, as the overhead line has to be disconnected each time for safety reasons.
• The cross spans and cantilevers will be pre-assembled from mid-November until the end of March 2025.
• Finally, the contact wire is scheduled to be replaced duringthe 2025 Easter vacations .
