The basis for this is continuous coordination of the planned civil engineering measures. In regular consultations, the City of Chemnitz coordinates upcoming construction projects together with utility companies such as eins/inetz, Entsorgungsbetrieb der Stadt Chemnitz (ESC) and Chemnitzer Verkehrs-AG (CVAG). Both short-term and medium-term plans are brought together and joint measures are coordinated. This close cooperation forms the basis for forward-looking construction site planning for the coming years.

For the year 2026, the planned measures in the main road network were already systematically recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025 and evaluated in terms of their impact on traffic. In addition to local partners, supra-regional stakeholders such as Verkehrsverbund Mittelsachsen, Deutsche Bahn AG and the relevant state and federal authorities were also involved. The aim is to avoid overlapping roadworks, plan diversions sensibly and ensure efficient alternative routes.</p

Priorities and multi-year projects

The main focus of construction work on the main road network in 2026 will be on Annaberger Straße, Bundesautobahn 4, Bahnhofstraße, Brückenstraße, Bernsdorfer Straße, Falkeplatz, Mühlenstraße and Theaterstraße. Extensive measures and traffic restrictions are to be expected in these sections.</p

<p>The list of measures on which the information is based comprises a total of more than 80 individual projects throughout the city. These include extensive road, sewer and pipeline construction measures, bridge repairs and carriageway renewals.

Some of the projects involve partial full road closures, e.g. on Annaberger Straße, Clausstraße, Dittersdorfer Straße and Zwickauer Straße. At the same time, numerous measures will be implemented in sections to ensure accessibility to city districts.

Multi-year projects, such as in the Falkeplatz, Theaterstraße or Jagdschänkenstraße areas, will continue beyond 2026 and will be included in the coordination accordingly. The coordination of construction sites will be continuously refined over the course of the year.</p
