Complete closure in Amberg: Kirchenleite completely closed from July 2025!

There will be an extensive construction site in Amberg next month: the Krumbacher Kirchenleite will be completely closed from July 1st to 31st, 2025. The closure affects the section between Lintacher Steig and Am Kuhberg and is necessary in order to carry out renovation work on the road surface and the curb. The work is so extensive that the area has to be completely closed during this time. Drivers are encouraged to use alternative routes to avoid traffic jams. Detailed information about diversion routes is available on the city of Amberg website. Residents and visitors should factor the closure into their plans to avoid inconvenience. (oberpfalzecho.de)

But it's not just Amberg that's working. In Krumbach, too, attention is focused on the upcoming road construction projects for 2025. This includes a maintenance measure in the through-town area on the B 300 federal highway, as well as further renovations on Bahnhofstrasse and Luitpoldstrasse. The road surface will be renewed in various areas, while the barrier-free expansion of the crossing island at the medical center is also on the agenda. A replacement of the traffic lights on Ulmer Straße is planned, as is the construction of a new water pipe and house connections. These measures aim to improve the infrastructure and create greater safety for pedestrians. (stbakru.bayern.de)

Traffic measures and diversions in Krumbach

The construction work in Krumbach requires various traffic measures, including no-parking on related streets and diversions for traffic in a south-north direction via Südstrasse and Burgauer Strasse. Jochnerstrasse will be closed to trucks, while the bus station will be opened to a single lane in a north-south direction. Large-scale diversions lead west of the city via Nattenhausen and Breitenthal. Residents of the affected areas are invited to find out about the upcoming measures at a meeting in the town hall at the beginning of April.

The developments in road construction are not only important for the citizens of Amberg and Krumbach, but also reflect a larger trend in Germany. Road construction remains the most important sector in civil engineering and, with a turnover of over 13 billion euros in 2023, is one of the central elements of the transport infrastructure. Although sales in road construction have increased in recent years, the 2023 figures showed a decline of almost two billion euros. This is accompanied by increased insolvencies, which have doubled, posing challenges for the industry. The expansion of motorways and federal highways will continue to be supported by money from the federal government, with a planned increase in investment to almost 9.8 billion euros by 2028.

The residents in Amberg and Krumbach now need to prepare for the upcoming work. These measures are important to ensure the long-term safety and quality of the transport infrastructure, and we hope that the inconveniences during the construction period will be overcome quickly and briefly.
