New footpath and cycle path provide attractive and safe connections
District road DLG 28: New roadway and expansion to 7.5 meters
Transport Minister Bernreiter: Significant improvement in road safety.
The Dillingen an der Donau district intends to expand the DLG 28 district road near Lauingen and Frauenriedhausen and create a new pedestrian and cycle path. Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter has now promised funding for this: Investments in infrastructure are important for a strong Bavaria. The measure is important for the people in the region and significantly improves traffic safety. Thats why we are happy to support this and are supporting the expansion with more than 3.8 million euros.
Cyclists currently have to travel on the lane of the district road DLG 28 between Lauingen and Frauenriedhausen. This is also dangerous and unattractive because of some of the fast cars. To the west of the district road, the district will soon be building a new pedestrian and cycle path: over 3.2 kilometers long and 2.5 to 3.5 meters wide, an attractive and safe connection will be created. This brings the district a little closer to the goal of a closed cycle path network for everyday, local recreation and cycling.
The district road itself is in poor condition - and traffic, especially trucks, has increased significantly. The road will be renovated, given a new road surface and widened to a width of 7.5 meters throughout. As part of this, the bridge over the Zwergbach will also be renewed. Regulatory protective measures are provided in the area of the water protection area.
The estimated total costs of the measure amount to around 6.5 million euros. The Free State of Bavaria will cover around 3.84 million euros as part of funding under the Bavarian Municipal Transport Financing Act (BayGVFG). Construction work will start at the beginning of next year and is scheduled to be completed in 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.
