On Hellbach: half-lane closure for road safety reasons

The damage to the road has been known for several years, but has deteriorated significantly in recent months. There are several pronounced longitudinal cracks in the asphalt carriageway, some of which are up to 30 centimetres deep. As a result of the progressive damage, part of the asphalt carriageway has already become detached and shifted towards the embankment. Furthermore, the kerbs in the affected area have been pushed completely outwards. The nature of the damage suggests that, in addition to the carriageway surface, deeper layers of the road structure are also affected.

The next step is to have the subsoil examined by a soil consultant and, on that basis, to have a suitable remediation proposal drawn up.

The restrictions will remain in place until further notice. All road users are asked to exercise particular caution when passing through the affected area and to follow the local traffic signs.
