Construction work on Lommerweg

Extensive repair work on Lommerweg will begin on August 4, 2025. The construction work will be carried out by the Kommunalservice Jena building yard. The construction period is expected to last four weeks. The road will need to be fully closed in three construction phases. The affected construction area extends from the connecting path to August-Bebel-Straße (out of town after the underpass under Katharinenstraße) to Sickingenstraße.

Detour and accessibility:

Local detour will be signposted during the construction work. The playground on Sickingenstraße remains accessible for pedestrians. Cyclists wishing to use the playground can only do so via Sickingenstraße during the construction period.

Special construction method:

Due to its location along the Leutra river, the Lommerweg will continue to have an unbound surface. Although this construction method is more costly to maintain than an asphalt surface, for example, it ensures a nature-friendly design. The path is constructed in two layers from a mineral mixture. After installation and compaction, the surface must be left for a few days to achieve the necessary basic strength.

Note for cyclists:

We ask all cyclists to strictly adhere to the temporary closures. Only in this way can the new road surface develop its planned stability and hopefully meet the usage requirements over a long period of time.

Thank you for your understanding.
