On 7 April, work will begin on renewing the carriageway of the B 95 at Harthauer Berg south of Chemnitz. The construction work extends over a section of around 1,500 metres from the southern end of Chemnitz up to and including the junction with Berbisdorfer Straße/ Landwirtschaftsstraße. The construction work includes in particular the replacement of the upper asphalt layers with a new four-centimetre-thick surface course and an eight-centimetre-thick binder course. In addition, the underlying asphalt base course will be replaced on a 300 metre section.
All new asphalt layers to be laid will be produced using temperature-reduced asphalt. This construction method contributes to the reduction of CO₂ emissions during asphalt production and also improves occupational safety for the employees on site thanks to lower emissions. As part of the project, the drainage systems and verges will also be repaired and the existing crash barriers replaced. Finally, the road markings and signage will be renewed. The construction work on behalf of the Chemnitz branch of the State Office for Road Construction and Transport is expected to be completed by the end of June.
The work will be carried out under full road closure of the B 95. The diversion from the south will be from Burkhardtsdorf via the B 180 through Dittersdorf and Gornau, then via the B 174 and the Südring in Chemnitz back to the B 95. The opposite direction will be diverted accordingly.
The total cost of the project is around 760,000 euros. They are being financed from the budget of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The State Office for Road Construction and Transport asks all road users and residents for their understanding for the difficulties caused by the construction work and for cautious driving on the diversion.
