Footpath and cycle path under construction between Erzbergerstraße and Horst-Menzel-Straße
Construction of a combined footpath and cycle path connecting Erzbergerstraße and Horst-Menzel-Straße began at the end of last week. The construction work is expected to be completed by mid-November.
The 125 metre long footpath and cycle path with a width of 2.20 to 2.50 metres will run along the existing green corridor between the two streets. Due to the difference in height between Horst-Menzel-Straße and Erzbergerstraße, which is around 4 metres, extensive earthworks are required. Soil excavation and removal work will be carried out and new prefabricated support brackets will be erected.
The company ATS Chemnitz Asphalt-, Tief- und Straßenbau GmbH was commissioned with the construction work. The costs amount to around 364,000 euros and will be financed from the City of Chemnitz's own funds.
