In the period from April 2025 to August 2027, further previously underserved addresses in the south-west of Chemnitz that could not be included in the first expansion stage in 2019 will be connected to the fibre optic network. There are a total of around 300 buildings to be connected in the expansion area.
Lot 6 concerns the districts of Altchemnitz, Harthau, Klaffenbach and Einsiedel. There, 19 network distributors and 25.2 kilometres of new broadband line will be installed to connect around 107 buildings.
Construction lot 7 concerns the districts of Markersdorf, Schönau, Neustadt, Stelzendorf, Siegmar, Reichenbrand and Mittelbach. There, 33 network distributors and a total of 39.1 kilometres of new broadband line are planned in order to connect around 197 buildings.
There are also buildings along Längstrasse for which no fibre optic connection is planned due to funding regulations. These are so-called reserve addresses. In order to connect these buildings at a later date, the necessary broadband infrastructure in the form of microduct bundles and microducts will be installed up to the property boundary during the construction work.
Coordinated services for the laying of infrastructure by inetz GmbH are integrated into the construction project. Specifically, power cables will be laid and the street lighting will be renewed. Road renovation measures are also integrated into the construction project.
The civil engineering work for all surfaces will be carried out using open and closed construction methods. To this end, the roads in the various urban areas will be partially or fully closed.
The total construction costs for lots 6 and 7 amount to around 23.6 million euros and are being funded by the federal government and the Free State of Saxony with a total of 90 per cent. Construction lot 6 is being carried out by Umwelt 2000 GmbH - Umweltbau und Recyclingtechnik, while construction lot 7 is being carried out by SP-Sinan Polat Bau GmbH.
