Transport Minister Bernreiter: Significant improvement in road safety
The Lichtenfels district is building a new bypass for Wunkendorf as part of the LIF 12 district road. The district is receiving support for this from the Free State of Bavaria, as Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter has now promised: The new bypass will significantly improve traffic safety. In addition, the town center and the Kleinziegenfelder Valley will be relieved of traffic. Thats why we are happy to take the money and support the project with over 4.3 million euros.
The new building, a good two kilometers long, is part of the reorganization of the St 2191 state road. The Weismain bypass has been open to traffic for around six years. In order to prevent this from causing additional traffic in the valuable Kleinziegenfelder valley, traffic is routed via Wunkendorf and Modschiedel. The Modschiedel bypass has also been completed since 2021 - Wunkendorf should also be bypassed next year. The district road LIF 12, together with the Weismain bypass, will then be upgraded to the new state road 2191.
The costs of the measure amount to around 6.3 million euros. The Free State of Bavaria will cover 4.32 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.
