Improvement of the infrastructure over a length of around two kilometers
Wider roadway, stronger structure, optimized drainage
Transport Minister Bernreiter: Important contribution to greater road safety
The Kronach district is continuing to expand the KC 1 district road near Ebersdorf with the next construction phase and is receiving support from the Free State of Bavaria. The roadway becomes wider, has a stronger structure and better drainage. Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter has now promised funding for this: Investments in infrastructure are of great importance for a strong Bavaria. The measure is an important contribution to greater traffic safety. Thats why we are happy to support this and are providing funding of over five million euros.
Currently the KC1 does not meet the current requirements of a functioning county road. The entire section from the junction of L 2659/KC 1 to the hairpin bend towards Ebersdorf is in poor condition due to many punctual damage, depressions and torn road areas. The roadway is characterized by countless longitudinal and network cracks as well as repairs in certain areas along the entire route. The superstructure was damaged by water ingress and frost in these cracks, which in the long term affects traffic safety. In addition, the road is too narrow, and extended shoulders show that you have to avoid them again and again.
With the expansion over a length of around two kilometers, the roadway widths and surface will be adapted to the requirements of the traffic volume. In addition, visibility is improved. The measure will also improve and optimize the existing drainage facilities for the long-term protection of the road, together with the edge areas and adjacent embankments, and create new drainage facilities.
The total costs of the measure amount to around 6.87 million euros. The Free State of Bavaria will cover a good five million euros as part of funding under the Bavarian Municipal Transport Financing Act (BayGVFG). Construction began in August and is expected to be completed in September 2026.
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.
