District heating system extension: Auguststrasse to transform into a one-way street; detours by early November
Solingen, Germany – Construction work on the southern network of Solingen's district heating system is set to commence on September 1st, with Augustastraße as the primary focus. The expansion measures aim to ensure a reliable and efficient heat supply in the long term.
The works involve companies specializing in electrotechnical and climate technology services, such as Elektro- und Klimatechnik-Fachbetriebe, which have expertise in installing and repairing warm water and heating systems. However, no specific institutional or municipal participants were identified in relation to the Solingen warm water network expansion.
During the construction period, Augustastraße will be accessible only in the direction of Weyersberger Straße. Pedestrians will need to cross to the opposite side of the street along Blumenstraße near Vorspel park, as the sidewalk will be closed. Exit from Blumenstraße onto Augustastraße will not be possible due to the closure at Vorspel park.
Those coming from the opposite direction must follow a detour via Weyersberger Straße, Kronprinzenstraße, and Konrad-Adenauer-Straße to reach Augustastraße. The pipeline between Blumenstraße and Oligschlägerweg will be reinforced and expanded as part of the project.
The city administration has requested patience and understanding from all road users, and residents are advised to use alternative parking spaces if adjacent streets become more crowded due to one-way traffic. No new information about the impact on local businesses or residents was provided.
The current traffic regulations are expected to remain in place until late October. No further details about the timeline or cost of the project were mentioned. Additionally, no mention was made of any alternative routes or transportation options during the construction period.
No new details about the benefits of the expanded District Heating Network were given, but the city administration emphasizes that these expansion measures are intended to secure a reliable and efficient heat supply in the long term. Pedestrians and drivers are encouraged to plan their routes accordingly and follow the updated traffic regulations during the construction period.
