Spring road in Schmidmühlen: Construction work is progressing quickly!

Schmidmühlen, Deutschland - In Schmidmühlen, the construction work for the renovation of the spring road is in full swing. This measure should be completed by around mid -July 2023 and includes comprehensive work that is urgently necessary. Mayor Peter Braun (CSU) did not miss the opportunity to inform himself personally about progress when you visit the construction site. The renovation work is a clear sign that the course is set for a better infrastructure in the community.

The spring road, which flows directly into Harschhofer Straße, has already experienced some renovations in the past. In addition to the current measure, Harschhofer Straße was also renewed a few years ago and the “Schallerberg” road last year. Such projects are not only an annoying obligation, but also an investment in the future that benefits residents.

detailed renovation work

What exactly is done here? The Uta engineers' responsible for the construction of the Englhard awarded the construction. The work includes the exchange of the water pipe and the renewal of the asphalt ceiling. The rainwater guidance is also being revised, and defective street inlet shafts and sewer house connections get new shine. Overall, the costs for this renovation amount to around 197,000 euros, plus the cost of security and engineering.

For the approximately 70 -meter -long route, the financial effort is a clear sign that the community takes its responsibility seriously and wants to increase the quality of life of the residents with a good network of traffic.

cost sharing and municipal support

Important to know: In Bavaria, the municipalities usually bear a larger proportion of the costs of road renovations. While there are clear guidelines on the cost sharing of the residents in other federal states, Bavaria and some other federal states have abolished these regulations for several years. The municipality thus relieves the residents of financial burdens, which often made up to 75 percent of the renovation costs, as an analysis shows. These changes are part of a trend that can be observed in many German municipalities where the economic framework for such projects becomes increasingly difficult.

A current study by the German Institute of Urban Studies draws attention to the enormous need for investment in Germany. By 2030, more than 370 billion euros are required to keep roads, rail networks and bridges in an acceptable condition. Many bridges and streets are in need of renovation, which underlines the need for these local projects. Therefore, it turns out that Schmidmühlen takes a step in the right direction with the renovation of the spring road.

The discussion about cost sharing and the necessary financial support for the municipalities is more relevant than ever. A persistent renovation backlog could massively endanger the infrastructure in our communities. It is all the more important that cities and municipalities such as Schmidmühlen become active and promote the quality of life on site. The municipality has proven a good hand with the current project and shows that it takes its duty to the citizens seriously.
