The Rhine Highway in Wiesbaden has been fully restored
In the heart of Wiesbaden, Germany, several road construction projects have been ongoing, causing some disruptions in traffic flow. Here's a roundup of the current status and expected completion dates for the ongoing projects:
1. Water Pipe Repair on Bierstadter Straße: The repair of a water pipe break on Bierstadter Straße, which had caused a lane closure towards the city center, was completed by August 22, 2025. The road is now fully reopened, and buses are using their regular stops again.
2. Lane Closure on Bierstadter Straße: An ongoing lane closure on Bierstadter Straße due to nearby construction activities is expected to last until August 29, 2025.
3. Patrickstraße Renovation: This project, which involves the renovation of utility lines, is affecting the Patrickstraße, not directly the Bierstadter Straße, and is expected to continue until August 29, 2025.
4. Leineweberweg Construction: While not directly on Bierstadter Straße, the Leineweberweg will be closed from September 8 to October 6, 2025, due to work on utility lines. This might affect traffic in the area.
Elsewhere in Wiesbaden, there are some positive developments:
5. Rheinstraße and Welfenstraße: The city of Wiesbaden has completed the road construction project on Rheinstraße by August 15. The renewed road surfaces on both Rheinstraße and Welfenstraße are now available for use. The reopening of Welfenstraße is scheduled for a Saturday. A new, physically separated bike lane has been added to the renewed road surface on Rheinstraße.
6. Welfenstraße Water Pipe Renewal: ESWE Supply has been renewing water pipes along the entire length of Welfenstraße since early July.
7. Traffic Light Regulation at Steubenstraße: The traffic light regulation at the level of Steubenstraße is expected to be lifted on Friday, August 22.
8. Intersection of Rheinstraße / Schwalbacher Straße: The intersection is now clear again, following the completion of deep construction works and subsequent road resurfacing.
The delay in the Bierstadter Straße renovation is due to weather conditions at the end of July and early August. The exact reopening date for Bierstadter Straße will be announced once the ongoing construction is completed.
In the wider context of Wiesbaden, while the ongoing road construction project on Bierstadter Straße is causing disruptions, other industries such as finance and transportation may experience indirect impacts due to the traffic congestion. Meanwhile, positive developments can be seen in other areas, such as the completion of road construction projects on Rheinstraße and Welfenstraße, which has introduced a new bike lane on Rheinstraße and opened up renewed road surfaces for use.
