Gielder knot becomes a roundabout: traffic safety in the district is increasing

traffic safety in the district of Wolfenbüttel strengthened

The district of Wolfenbüttel has taken a crucial step towards increased traffic safety. A project that has long been planned to redesign an accident -prone intersection has now been successfully implemented. On Friday, August 2nd, the new roundabout at Gielder Knoten will be officially released for traffic.

Details of the project

The project included the conversion of the intersection between Landesstraße 500 and Kreisstraße 85 in Gielde into a modern roundabout. This 1.6 million euro project, in which the district is significantly involved with a quarter of the costs, was realized in close cooperation with the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport (NLSTBV).

positive feedback from everyone involved

District Administrator Christiana Steinbrügge was pleased to comment on the completion: "With the Gield knot, we have now successfully implemented four out of five planned roundabout projects. These are gratifying progress to increase traffic safety in the district." The hope is that this measure minimizes the severe accident risks, especially by turning traffic.

smooth implementation

The construction of the new traffic routing was started in mid -March, and at that time a bypass, or bypass, was set up for school buses. Thanks to smooth processes and cheap weather, the project could even be completed before the planned date. Günter Hartkens, head of the RGB Goslar, praised the excellent cooperation of everyone involved:

  • "However, the acceptance of road users will be a challenge."
  • "We will therefore refer to the new traffic routing with signs and flashing lights."

additional investments in the infrastructure

The lane of the Landesstraße 500 between Neuenkirchen and the Autobahn 36 for an additional 800,000 euros from state funds as part of these measures. These investments are part of the comprehensive efforts to improve the infrastructure of the Wolfenbüttel district and to ensure the safety of road users.

thanks for consideration

Finally, the state authority for road construction and traffic and the district of Wolfenbüttel thank all road users for their understanding and consideration during the construction period. The successful implementation of these measures shows how important communal efforts are for safety in road traffic.
