Harkortstraße to Undergo Second Construction Phase: Detailed Traffic and Construction Information

Harkortstraße in the city will be transformed as part of the second construction phase, with the street becoming a one-way street heading north. The asphalt work is scheduled to be completed by August 22nd, marking the end of the second phase.

The construction period will see various stages, each with its own implications for traffic flow.

Drainage Work

The initial phase will focus on drainage installation, with partial lane restrictions expected but no full closures. This phase is scheduled to occur early in the construction timeline.

Half-Lane Closure

Following the drainage work, a half-lane closure will be implemented on the affected road segment. Traffic will flow with alternating directions managed by traffic signals or flaggers to maintain movement. However, during the full closure, a half-lane closure will not be sufficient, and alternative measures will be put in place.

One-Way Traffic on Harkortstraße

Concurrently or immediately following the half-lane closure, Harkortstraße will operate under one-way traffic conditions. This is likely to facilitate detours around the construction zone.

Second Construction Phase

The project advances into a second phase, which might involve more extensive roadwork or utilities beneath the road surface. This phase might still maintain partial traffic flow but with increased restrictions.

Full Closure

Following the second phase, a full road closure will be implemented between Vogesenstraße and Teutoburger Straße. All traffic will be detoured to alternative routes. Signage will guide drivers accordingly.

Traffic Detours

Drivers are advised to follow posted detour routes around the closure area. Alternative routes will be clearly marked, likely utilizing parallel streets to minimize congestion. Detours will be signposted via Klosterhardter Straße and Elpenbachstraße during the full closure.

The second construction phase will involve a full closure in both directions, starting from August 14th. The street closure between Vogesenstraße and Teutoburger Straße began from today and will continue until the end of the second construction phase. Asphalt work is scheduled to be completed by August 22nd, after which the road is expected to reopen fully to normal traffic conditions.

  1. The second construction phase on Harkortstraße may further involve finance from the industry sector, as the project advances into more extensive roadwork.
  2. Public-transit services should be mindful of the construction timeline on Harkortstraße, adjusting routes or schedules to avoid delays caused by the transportation disruptions during weather conditions.
  3. In the event of unexpected weather conditions during the full closure of Harkortstraße, there might be a need for additional finance to expedite the clearance of debris and restoration work, ensuring traffic can resume as quickly as possible.
