First section for cross-community walking and cycling path along district road AS 4
Transport Minister Bernreiter: Significant improvement in road safety
Significantly more road safety for cyclists and pedestrians! The Amberg-Sulzbach district is building a pedestrian and cycle path along the AS 4 district road between Ursensollen and Allersburg. The first section is being built between the towns of Zant and Hausen. The district is receiving support from the Free State of Bavaria, as Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter has now promised: The new footpath and cycle path will significantly improve traffic safety. Thats why we are happy to put money into our hands and support the expansion with around 1.8 million euros.
The pedestrian and cycle path begins at the junction with Zant and runs along the AS 4. A public field and forest path will then be integrated slightly away from the district road. The path runs along the AS 4 again until it connects to Bergstrasse in Hausen. As a result of the construction, pedestrians and cyclists no longer have to share the district road with cars or heavy goods traffic and are much safer on the road. The construction section is part of a planned connection from Ursensollen to Allersburg and represents a cross-connection between the Schweppermann cycle path and the Lauterachtal cycle path.
The costs of the measure amount to around 2.4 million euros. The Free State of Bavaria will cover 1.77 million euros as part of funding under the Bavarian Municipal Transport Financing Act (BayGVFG).
In total, districts, cities and municipalities in Bavaria receive around 250 million euros annually from the Free State for projects to improve their road networks. In addition to strengthening roadways and bridges, this also includes, for example, the construction of cycle paths, the traffic-safe conversion of intersections and the construction of bus lanes.
