Access to St.-Getreu-Straße to Maienbrunnen is free from tomorrow!

From June 16, 2025, road users in Bamberg can look forward to the fact that the passage from St.-Getreu-Straße to Maienbrunnen will finally be reopened. This decision provides relief for residents and visitors to the St. Michael monastery complex, which can still be reached via St.-Getreu-Straße. A clear ray of hope for everyone who wants to use the area around the Maienbrunnen! According to that Wiesentbote The driving connection between St.-Getreu-Straße and Storchsgasse will remain in place, although Michelsberg Street will continue to function as a dead end.

According to that Franconian day Not only is the road surface being renewed here, but new drinking water mains are also being laid. This major project could last until the end of 2025 and will significantly change the traffic situation.

Construction work affects residents

Residents and businesses are currently having to live with restrictions, which is evident, among other things, in front of the popular “cafe room” on Michelsberg. Again Franconian day reported, the work will take place from Monday to Thursday, with the construction site being cleaned up regularly in order to keep the disruption to everyone involved as low as possible. The coming construction phases will bring further changes: From June 26th, the junction of Michelsberg/St.-Getreu-Straße will be completely closed, which will continue to make passage to Maienbrunnen impossible.

Interestingly, the city has also adjusted the city bus service: From June 19, 2023, line 910 will be redirected via Am Bundleshof and St.-Getreu-Straße to the replacement Klinikum Michelsberg stop. Stops such as Michelsberg and Storchsgasse cannot be served due to the construction work, so the changes must be taken into account in any case.

Renovation work in the Bamberg area

There is not only a lot going on around the Maienbrunnen, there is also a lot of construction going on elsewhere in Bamberg. In the Kaulberg area, the municipal utilities are busy renovating gas and water pipes as well as expanding fiber optics.

The city of Bamberg and its citizens will have their hands full in the coming months. The challenges posed by the construction work should not be underestimated, but with a good hand, all affected traffic and residents should find a solution. We keep our fingers crossed that everything goes quickly and smoothly!
