New closures and acute obstructions
At the start of the new week, road users must expect short- or medium-term closures at several points in Jena:
- Railway crossings Brückenstraße and Am Steinbach: Due to urgent tamping work, a full closure will be in effect from Wednesday, September 17 (8:00 PM), until Sunday, September 20 (5:00 AM). Both railway crossings will be closed alternately; a detour is signposted on-site.
- Camburger Straße: The western sidewalk from the intersection with Leipziger Straße to opposite the garage complex will be fully closed for civil engineering work from September 14 to October 14, 2026. Pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be diverted via Fritz-Kalisch-Straße.
- Holzweg: At house number 25, a full closure will be in effect from September 14 to 15, 2026, for the renewal of a rainwater shaft. Individual traffic will be regulated via a construction traffic light via Ziegenhainer Straße. This has serious consequences for public transport: Bus line 23 cannot operate at all during this measure.
Existing long-term construction sites in the city area
In addition to the new work sites, numerous extensive infrastructure projects in the city area remain active and continue to require patience from drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians:
- Naumburger Straße: The large-scale infrastructure measure at the northern city exit continues in the 1st construction phase (until November 30, 2026). The detour is routed over a wide area via the L1070 and B7.
- Paradiesbrücke and tram line: The renewal of the track leads to restrictions and changes in the network plan for lines 1, 4, and 5 in the 1st construction phase (until October 15, 2026).
- August-Bebel-Straße: The fundamental expansion between house number 27a and Botzstraße will continue until November 20, 2026.
