Current condition is no longer sufficient for the requirements
Additional turning strips and improvement in traffic safety especially for pedestrians
Transport Minister Bernreiter: Important contribution to more traffic safety
Together with the municipalities of Gossweinstein and Egloffstein, the district of Forchheim is investing in the improvement of traffic conditions and receiving support from the Free State of Bavaria. The district road FO 21 is expanded between Wichsenstein and the confluence with the community street to Heide. Minister of Transport Christian Bernreiter: With the expansion of the district road, traffic safety and traffic quality improve significantly. That is why we are happy to support and take almost 1.8 million euros in hand.
The roadway currently has different widths. Especially in the many corner areas, encounter traffic with a truck is almost impossible. The curve radii are too low and the inadequate crossing of the cross is badly drained. The traffic volume of the past decades has severely affected the road surface, including the marginal areas, so that it had to be repaired several times. The current state of expansion is no longer designed for current and future traffic loads.
The measure will increase significantly by the measure. In addition to the widening of the street, the installation area for left -hand bends in the area of the confluence of the community connection road from the direction of Heide also contributes to this. In addition, a sidewalk is built for the first time in the Wichsenstein passage.
The total cost of the measure amounts to almost three million euros. The Free State of Bavaria supports the district as part of a funding according to the Bavarian Community Financing Act with a total of 1.75 million euros.
In total, counties, 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 the reinforcement of lanes and bridges, this also includes, for example, cycle path construction, the traffic -safe conversion of intersections or the construction of bus traces.
