Weekend events:
In the heart of Aachen, construction projects on Europaplatz and Peliserkerstraße are scheduled to take place from July 11 to 14. The exact nature and scope of these projects remain undisclosed, but it is known that they will involve urgent work on power lines.
Regionetz will establish a construction site at the junction of Joseph-von-Görres-Straße and Peliserkerstraße. To carry out this work, Europaplatz will be closed to vehicles from July 11, 8 PM, until July 14, 5 AM. During this time, vehicle traffic will need to use alternative routes such as Ludwigallee, Monheimsallee, and the ring roads around the city center.
Despite the vehicle closure, pedestrians and cyclists can continue to use current detours over the weekend. The nearby Soerser Weg and A544 closure indicates that vehicles are fully closed, but no pedestrian or cyclist restrictions have been mentioned, suggesting that these groups can navigate around the closures safely.
The simultaneous construction of the projects aims to prevent further closure of the upper Joseph-von-Görres-Straße. Barriers will be placed at all Europaplatz entrances. Stolberger Straße, Adalbertsteinweg, Heinrichsallee, and Jülicher Straße will be used for vehicle traffic rerouting.
The closure is necessary for continuous asphalting of the new bike path around Europaplatz. ASEAG bus lines will be rerouted with temporary stops in place. However, no further information is provided about the specifics of the construction projects on Europaplatz and Peliserkerstraße.
As always, motorists are advised to check local traffic updates and event information closer to the event date for any additional details or shuttle services that might be provided by local traffic authorities or event organizers.
The construction site set up by Regionetz on the intersection of Joseph-von-Görres-Straße and Peliserkerstraße could potentially include companies from the industry, finance, or transportation sectors, as these sectors are known to be involved in urban infrastructure projects. During the construction, the finance sector might be impacted as well, considering the potential disruption to businesses in the area. After the project is complete, transportation within Aachen may be enhanced due to the proposed improvements to power lines and the construction of a new bike path around Europaplatz.
