Limbacher Straße 37: Owner of the dilapidated building wants to start the safety measures in mid-May
Necessary traffic restrictions on site and the diversion route must remain in place for the time being for safety reasons
As a result of the safety closure that became necessary due to the condition of the building at Limbacher Straße 37, the city's traffic authority had to order extensive traffic restrictions and diversions from 10 April 2013 (PM 156 dated 08.04.2013), which must currently be maintained.
The City of Chemnitz would like to lift these restrictions for residents and road users as quickly as possible. However, this requires the corresponding commitment of the building owner.
The City of Chemnitz/Building Permit Office has today agreed with the owner of the dilapidated building at Limbacher Straße 37 on how to proceed with the urgently needed safety measures on the building.
As a result of the discussion, it can be reported that the owner is interested in eliminating the danger quickly and will inform the authority of the measures he intends to take as soon as possible. According to the owner, the safety measures are expected to begin in mid-May.
Here once again is the information from the traffic authority for road users:
One-way street regulation: Due to the necessary closure of Limbacher Straße in the area of house number 37, only a small remaining width of the carriageway remains, so that Limbacher Straße must be designated as a one-way street in the direction of the city from 10 April 2013.
The country direction will be diverted via Fritz-Matschke-Straße / Matthesstraße / Beyerstraße. Road users should note that due to the expected high volume of traffic, Fritz-Matschke-Straße and Matthesstraße can only be designated as one-way streets from 10 April.
Crossing traffic lights: In order to keep traffic flowing despite the necessary diversion, temporary crossing traffic lights will be installed at the Matthesstraße/ Beyerstraße and Beyerstraße/ Limbacher Straße/ Barbarossastraße junctions.
Stopping bans: It is also necessary to issue stopping bans in the area of the safety point and in various areas of the diversion route. This is to prevent traffic hazards. In the interests of road safety, road users are urgently requested to comply with these necessary stopping restrictions.
Pedestrian traffic and CVAG bus stop: Pedestrian traffic heading towards the city centre will be allowed to cross the pedestrian ford at the traffic lights at the Limbacher Straße/ Beyerstraße/ Barbarossastraße junction or via a pedestrian crossing aid (pedestrian crossing). via a pedestrian crossing aid (a temporary centre island in the form of guard rails) at the height of "Lidl" onto the opposite pavement.
The CVAG stop on the city side will be set up approx. 30 metres further towards the city.
