Construction of pedestrian and cyclist bridge at Scharnhorststraße halted from 25th August

The Scharnhorststraße pedestrian and cycle bridge in [city name], will undergo repairs from August 25 to September 5, 2025. During this period, the bridge will be closed for regular use.

The repair work is expected to be completed before the new school year commences, ensuring that the bridge will be operational again by the start of the new school year. This means that by September 2025, both pedestrians and cyclists can use the bridge as usual.

During the closure, pedestrians can use the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street, while cyclists are permitted to use the roadway. Detours have been put in place to facilitate safe travel for both pedestrians and cyclists.

On August 30, 2025, entering or exiting Osnabrucker Straße will not be possible due to the full closure of the junction. However, the allotment gardens can be reached via the Loitzer Landstraße on that day. A temporary removal of the bollard on the extension of Scharnhorststraße will be made to allow access to the Loitzer Landstraße.

The responsibility for these repairs lies with the municipal department in charge of road construction and traffic. In cities like Leipzig and Uelzen, this would usually be a city department or a municipal enterprise responsible for street and traffic maintenance. Construction or major repair works may be carried out by contractor companies, but the official responsible authority is the city’s road and traffic or public works department.

It's important to note that the bridge repairs are a crucial step in ensuring the safety and functionality of the Scharnhorststraße pedestrian and cycle bridge. The city encourages everyone to follow the detours and safety measures put in place during the repair period.

Stay tuned for updates on the progress of the repairs and the reopening of the Scharnhorststraße pedestrian and cycle bridge.
