Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring: Lane closure from July 22nd – what is planned?
Next Tuesday, July 22nd, a larger construction site will start at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Ring in Amberg, which will last until November 7th. The right lane must be closed for the necessary widening of the sidewalk. This measure affects the section along the former post office building, which also entails some changes for traffic.
While the road towards the train station can still be used in two lanes, traffic towards the roundabout will be reduced to one lane. Drivers beware: turning left onto Mariahilfbergweg is taboo during the entire construction period. However, residents can access the parking spaces behind the building, which provides some relief for affected residents.
