Construction work in Plauen: traffic chaos threatens until the end of October!
In Plauen, extensive construction work will be carried out on the Bahnhofstrasse/Rädelstrasse area from Monday, September 15th. As the Free press reports, there will be no access for cars for the time being, while pedestrians will still be able to pass. These measures are part of a project to create a more attractive urban district that was started in June. The paving areas from the entrance to the Müller drugstore towards Postplatz are currently being completed. From September 15th until probably the end of October, drivers will have to prepare for the access from Rädelstrasse to Bahnhofstrasse to be closed.
Several measures are being implemented for the construction site: In addition to renewing the paved areas, new lighting, plant beds and drinking water pipes are also being installed. The connection to Bahnhofstrasse is via Stresemannstrasse. These extensive construction projects are largely financed by the federal program “Sustainable City Centers and Centers”, which has become increasingly important in recent years and is funded by the Federal Government is supported.
Funding for the city center
Urban development funding has established itself as a reliable partner in sustainable urban development over a period of more than 50 years. In 2024, 790 million euros will be available in the federal budget. One focus is on strengthening inner cities and town centers. Particular attention is paid to monument protection and socially disadvantaged neighborhoods are to be stabilized and upgraded.
The funding enables cities like Plauen to respond to current challenges, such as the decline in the resident population or climate change. An example of this is the federal program “Sustainable inner cities and centers”, which provides up to 250 million euros for projects like in Plauen and particularly benefits small and medium-sized cities.
