It was challenged for a long time and yet does not make everyone happy: Almost a year after the inauguration of the 26 million euro Arnulfsteg, the city is building the southern connection.
In future, cyclists will be able to cross Landsberger Straße there at traffic lights.
The construction project will cost a further 1.7 million euros.
Landsberger Straße gets a new crossing for cyclists and pedestrians
Investment costs 1.7 million euros
Alliance Radentscheid prefers a diagonal connection
Making
Munich more
bike-friendly
is a big task.
And an expensive one too.
The best example: The Arnulfsteg, inaugurated at the end of 2020, which leads over the railway tracks and connects the Schwanthalerhöhe with the Arnulfpark.
The relief for pedestrians and cyclists cost 26 million euros.
Now the city is investing a further 1.7 million euros to properly integrate the footbridge into the transport network.
In addition, a new crossing of
Landsberger Straße is being built.
This is where the route for cyclists and passers-by ended at the tram. “A lot of people just stepped over the tracks,” says Andreas Schön. For this reason alone, the spokesman for the Radentscheid Alliance is happy that you can now safely get to this point on the busy street and tram route. But he criticizes two things: On the one hand, the delay in the entire
construction project
. On the other hand, the course of the bar extension. It did not lead directly diagonally from Philipp-Löwenfeld- into Bergmannstraße. Cyclists and pedestrians, however, have to turn a little to the right to get to the traffic lights.
According to the city, asphalt will be paved from November 2nd to 6th to complete the footbridge connection.
This leads to adverse effects on road traffic: for the asphalting work, the intersection with Philipp-Loewenfeld-Straße and Landsberger Straße between Trappentreustraße and Schrenkstraße will be closed to car traffic from November 2 to 6, 2021 from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
"A discharge will be set up via the existing road network".
