Complete closure of the Lorsch-Heppenheim cycle path from October 6th!
Anyone who wants to cycle or walk between Lorsch and Heppenheim in the coming months will have to be prepared for diversions. From October 6, 2025, the southern cycle path connection will be completely closed. This reports Rhein Main Verlag. The closure affects all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.
The reason for the interruption is the renovation of the bridge over the Alte Weschnitz in the new Bruch, which is expected to take around three months. Signs will be placed at entrances to inform residents and commuters of necessary diversions. Parallel to the bridge renovation, the MIDAL gas pipeline in the area will also be replaced, a project that will take around six weeks and therefore overlaps with the bridge renovation.
Renovation work and traffic control
Before the bridge renovation officially starts, materials for the construction work will be delivered. During this time, cyclists and pedestrians are encouraged to use alternative routes between Lorsch and Heppenheim. The construction access for the gas pipeline is set up via the L3398. Mr. Mohr and Mr. Purkert from the building and environmental office of the city of Lorsch are available to answer questions and provide further information about the construction work, as stated in another report by Tip South Hesse is mentioned.
Overall, large-scale investments are being made in the infrastructure, which also affects local commuters. At the national level, the federal government is planning to invest 166 billion euros in infrastructure by 2029. Of this, around 107 billion euros will flow into rail infrastructure daily news reported. The aim is not only to modernize train stations, but also to renovate dilapidated bridges - a situation that could have a direct impact on the punctuality and reliability of rail connections.
The extensive work on the bridge in Lorsch is part of a larger renovation plan that affects not only local but also national transport routes. These projects may initially cause inconvenience, but in the long term they are intended to improve transport infrastructure. This makes the current and future construction projects all the more important and shows that the small bridges in our region also make a valuable contribution to a functioning transport system.
