Commencing Tunnel Construction: Crucial Information for Motorists Regarding the Substantial Worksite
The city of Karlsruhe has announced that the Schlossplatz-Tunnel will undergo a significant renovation starting in July 2025 and expected to be completed by the end of 2026. The project, commissioned to Leonhard Weiss GmbH & Co.KG, Göppingen, was presented in the Building Committee on October 5, 2023, and in the Main Committee on October 17, 2023.
The renovation will encompass a comprehensive overhaul of the road surface, with a new seal being installed under the asphalt in some places, as well as the repair of cracks and joints. The walls and supports will receive a new seal and protective layer, and parts of the tunnel ceiling will be sealed from above. The project also includes the renovation of the tunnel's technical facilities.
The need for the renovation arises due to road surface ruts and cracks, severe damage to concrete and steel parts by road salt, and water with road salt running into the tunnel, exacerbating the damage.
Motorists should note that the Schlossplatz-Tunnel can currently only be reached from east to west. Those who wish to drive south must take the detour via the Adenauerring. Further information about potential traffic jams and closures expected in 2025 can be found in this article: Traffic jams and closures expected in 2025.
The estimated cost of the renovation is 4.5 million euros, but specific details about the safety measures for the construction site and the exact location of the roadway and tunnel were not provided in the article. Safety measures for the construction site will be planned and tendered separately.
Official announcements from the Karlsruhe city or transport authority would provide the most accurate and detailed information about the renovation. For those seeking more specific details, it is recommended to consult these official sources.
The renovation project for the Schlossplatz-Tunnel, which includes updates to the road surface, technical facilities, and protective layers for the walls and supports, is anticipated to cost approximately 4.5 million euros. This investment is vital to address issues in the transportation industry, such as road surface ruts and cracks, damage from road salt, and water infiltration, all of which fall under the broader category of infrastructure in the finance sector.
