Commencement of the second stage in the construction of Homburg's local road now authorized
The State Road Authority (SRA) has announced that the second phase of construction in Homburg, Saarpfalz district, will commence on August 4, 2023. This phase will focus on the renovation of Ring Street between the intersection of Kirrberger Street and the University Hospital of the Saarland (UKS), with appropriate traffic measures in place.
During the first phase of construction, the asphalt on Ring Street between the B 423 (Zweibruecker Street) and the intersection of Kirrberger Street was successfully renewed. The work was completed ahead of schedule, leading to the construction schedule being brought forward.
In the second phase, the area from the intersection of Kirrberger Street to the UKS will be renovated under one-way traffic regulations. Traffic in the area of the University Hospital will be routed via Cappelallee to the B 423 during this phase. Motorists are advised to take potential disruptions and longer travel times into account when planning their routes.
For several days in the second week of August (August 7 to 12), the on- and off-ramps from and to Kirrberg will be closed. During this period, two detours via Kaeshofen and Ernstweiler will be signposted for traffic from Homburg to Kirrberg and back.
The SRA, in collaboration with public transport companies and the UKS, has coordinated the construction project to minimise disruptions. However, minor traffic disruptions are expected during the second phase of construction.
In addition, the SRA will renew the road surface in the area of the intersection to Kirrberg, as well as the area from the L 213 to the parking garage of the University Hospital, on behalf of the UKS.

Finance in the industry sector will be impacted by increased construction costs due to the second phase of renovation in Homburg. The transportation sector is advised to adapt routes and plans, considering potential disruptions and detours during the construction period of the Ring Street, specifically from August 4, 2023, to early September.
