New Henseltsteg in Schwabach: Safe cycle and footpath until December!
An important step for the city of Schwabach: The Henseltsteg will be completely rebuilt by December 2025. How Market mirror Reportedly, the old bridge suffers from serious age-related defects that make the new construction unavoidable. The footbridge connects Penzendorfer Straße with Limbacher Straße and is part of the popular green cycle route along the eastern Schwabach Valley.
The plan is to increase the clear width of the footbridge to 3.50 meters in order to ensure safe encounters for pedestrians and cyclists. This measure not only offers more space, but will also significantly increase the quality of stay near the Richard Bergner daycare center, a playground and assisted living facilities.
Challenges during construction
But there are some challenges to overcome when building the new Henseltsteg. Access to the construction site is only via a narrow driveway from Penzendorfer Straße. In addition, the construction site is located in the designated flood zone, which requires the use of special construction methods. A medium-voltage line for the municipal utilities also runs through the planned construction site, and the tree population worthy of protection and the sensitive vegetation there must be respected.
Construction logistics in particular play a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations on the construction site. Drees & Summer, which was entrusted with construction logistics, ensures that the construction site is optimally set up and that materials are supplied efficiently. Integrated early into the planning phase, the company ensures that everything goes according to plan during construction.
What can the citizens of Schwabach expect?
The official start of construction is scheduled for July 14, 2025, and completion is scheduled for December 19, 2025. During the construction period, pedestrians and cyclists will have to use alternative crossings, as crossing the Schwabach will not be possible at this point. Even if the inconvenience is temporary, the people of Schwabach can look forward to a modern and safe jetty that meets the needs of a growing community.
Schwabach is therefore looking forward to an exciting construction period in which not only a bridge will be created, but also an improvement in the infrastructure and quality of life for all citizens. Despite the challenges, the city remains on track to complete the Henseltsteg by the end of 2025.
