Construction work at the Koblenz Gate has been completed. According to the city, from Tuesday, October 11, traffic can again travel via Adenauerallee in the direction of Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz. With that being completed, the city administration said it intends to implement the third phase of traffic calming on the banks of the Rhine in Bonn, probably starting in the week from October 24 to 28.

As reported, the passage through the Koblenz Gate has been closed since the end of February due to the construction of a new bridge structure in the direction of Bertha-von-Suttner-Platz. Since then, traffic has been diverted from Zweite Fährgasse via the banks of the Rhine and Rheingasse. Originally, the construction work at the Koblenz Gate was to be completed by the end of June. In mid-September, the city was able to complete the construction work. However, the rerouting remained in place because the construction and real estate company was only able to carry out the remaining work on the facade of the university building after the municipal work had been completed. According to the city, the scaffolding will be dismantled on Monday, October 10, so that the Koblenz Gate will be open again in both directions as of Tuesday.

After the first two phases for upgrading and traffic calming have been implemented on the banks of the Rhine during the course of the year, two bicycle lanes are to be established in phase three in the southern section, between Zweiter and Erster Fährgasse as well as Erster Fährgasse and Rheingasse. According to the administration, pedestrian and bicycle traffic will be promoted, while motor vehicle through-traffic will be prevented. In addition, the provisional one-way street regulation in Rheingasse in the direction of the city center will be lifted. The fourth and final phase for the Rhine embankment is the implementation of the winning design from the competition for the redesign of the Rhine embankment. This is to be implemented in several construction phases starting at the end of 2023. (Orig. text: ga / Translation: ck)
