New Closures and Obstructions
At the beginning of the week, new traffic-related restrictions will come into effect in the city area:
- Mühlenstraße: Due to roofing work, there will be a partial closure at house number 135 from 31.08. to 04.09.2026.
- Lützowstraße: From 31.08. until presumably 09.10.2026, the street will be fully closed from house number 30 to Wildenbruchstraße 25 due to fundamental road reconstruction.
Ongoing Major Projects and Infrastructure
Major municipal infrastructure measures continue to progress and require some large-scale detours:
- Naumburger Straße: The first construction phase of the comprehensive infrastructure measure will continue until 30.11.2026. The area affected is from the Jena town exit to the junction at Carl-Orff-Straße Süd. A large-scale detour is signposted via the L1070 and B7 via Bürgel.
- Paradiesbrücke: As part of the renewal of the tram tracks, there will be closures of tracks as well as pedestrian and cycle paths until 31.03.2027. In the first construction phase (until 15.10.2026), the track section up to the Paradiesbahnhof stop is closed, resulting in changes to the network plan for lines 1, 4, and 5.
Important Notes for Residents and Road Users
In addition to the major construction sites, numerous other streets in the city area are affected by renovation work. These include August-Bebel-Straße, Bernhard-Schultze-Straße, Forstweg with its bridge closure, and Naumburger Straße.
