Repair work on the tunnel: there is a threat of traffic chaos in Bautzen!

Repair work on the tunnel: there is a threat of traffic chaos in Bautzen!

Residents and commuters in Bautzen are currently asked to be patient, as repair work on the Westtangente tunnel is in full swing. Intensive work has been underway on the railings above the tunnel walls since July 19, 2022, and the work is expected to last until early September 2022. The responsible client, Oevermann Ingenieurbau from Münster, wants to carry out the necessary repairs quickly in order to get traffic flowing smoothly again as quickly as possible. Loud bautzen.de The working hours are Monday to Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

During working hours, traffic is on one lane, which requires some adjustments, especially in the northbound direction. This will remain closed during the work and drivers are asked to use Neustädter Straße and the B96a to the B96 as a diversion. Interestingly, the southbound direction on the B96 remains accessible through Hoyerswerdaer Straße, which provides some relief.

The goal in sight

The focus of the work is on improving the safety and longevity of the infrastructure. The engineers from Winkel + Mangels from Moers who were involved in the implementation are on hand and take care of the accompanying work. Roland Winkel, the press contact, can be reached on 02841 60846-31 and by email at kontakt(at)wmbm.eu if there are any questions or concerns.

Although some diversions and restrictions are necessary, the tunnel will always remain fully accessible after the daily work has been completed. This shows that those responsible have a good hand when it comes to making the work efficient without putting too much strain on traffic. So, dear drivers, hold on – the work is necessary to ensure smoother traffic flow in the long term!

Stay tuned for more updates on the repair work and its completion!
