Bicycle roads in the district: new asphalt ceiling for better security!

In the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district, extensive measures are carried out to improve the bike paths. The asphalt ceiling was recently renewed on an area of ​​around 3,200 square meters on Mariannenplatz to offer cyclists a better rolling feeling. After the renovation work has been completed, new markings were raised that increase security and orientation on the bicycle roads. This is an important step in the ongoing optimization of the cycling infrastructure, such as berlin.de reported.

At the beginning of November, the renovation of the bicycle road in Bergmannstrasse between the Freiligrath School and Baerwaldstraße took place, which included an area of ​​around 2,000 square meters. As early as 2023, a section of this road between the Südstern and the Freiligrath School was renewed. Annika Gerold, the district councilor for Transport, emphasized the need for continuous maintenance for a functioning cycling network. "I would like to thank everyone involved for their commitment to good bike paths in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg," she said.

new standards for road construction

The "guidelines for the standardization of the upper building of traffic areas" contain important requirements for layer structure and the materials based on the respective traffic loads. Areas, such as intersections and bus stops, require special consideration in the construction process. Only by observing these standards can the functionality and lifespan of the traffic areas be secured sustainably, which in turn takes into account the requirements of increasing traffic loads.
