The need for such measures in road construction is not only shown in the Obergünzburg region. In other parts of Germany, such as on the B252 between Berndorf and Twiste, there are also extensive work. Here the road surface is milled away by 14 centimeters to remove cracks and gear grooves. A new cover layer of 18 centimeters is then applied. This work is to be completed by August 7 at the latest and cost around 320,000 euros. The diversion routes are clearly signposted for long-distance and heavy traffic as well as for local transport in order to ensure a smooth flow of traffic, according to an article of HNA.

Current trends in road construction

But what do these measures have to do with the rest of the road construction in Germany? Road construction, as the most important sector in civil engineering, has gone through an exciting development in recent years. In 2023, more than 13 billion euros were generated in the German Federal Running Road network, despite a decline of almost two billion euros in the same year. The federal government is investing massive sums in the expansion of the infrastructure, which is significant support for the industry. Even the training profession of the roadmaker is very interesting, which shows that there is a certain growth potential here, as an analysis of Statista shows.

Overall, it can be seen that the current situation in road construction ensures movement both in Bavaria and nationwide. It is to be hoped that the measures will improve the flow of traffic and increase accident reliability. Citizens can look forward to a more modern and convenient infrastructure, while the construction work put the patience of the residents to the test.
