Start of the construction project "Redesign of the St. Bernward forecourt"

The redesign of the St. Bernward forecourt will begin on Monday, March 23. The Pappeldamm in front of the parish of St. Bernward will have to be fully closed for the extensive construction work. A large-scale detour will be set up. The work is expected to be completed by the end of July 2026.

The St. Bernward forecourt is being redesigned.

What will be improved with the redesign?

  • Speed will be reduced in the area of the daycare center and the community center.
  • Removal of the roadways and equipping the crossing facilities with tactile elements
  • Paving of the crossing area in front of the daycare center with ramps as an attention area
  • Improvement of the crossing area by creating a central island
  • Barrier-free expansion of both bus stops Kloster

= This will improve road safety and accessibility.

  • Trees and planted islands improve the quality of stay.
  • Functional reorganization of the recycling collection point

= The important traffic connection from Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße to Pappeldamm will be improved in many ways for all road users and residents thanks to the redesign.

What is being done?

  • The Pappeldamm in front of the parish of St. Bernward must be fully closed between the Pappeldamm junction at the family center and the street Am Hagenholz.
  • A large-scale detour via Danziger Straße and Panscheberg (and vice versa) will be set up and signposted so that through traffic can avoid the construction site.
  • Pedestrians and cyclists will be guided past the construction area to the south. The pedestrian connection will be adapted to the respective construction progress and is possible at any time.

Important: From Danziger Straße, the Pappeldamm can be driven on as far as Am Hagenholz!

Gerhart-Hauptmann-Straße cannot be used in the direction of Pappeldamm! (Except for family center and residents)

  • Bus routes 603 and 790 must also be diverted for this period. The bus stops "Kloster", "W.-Borchert-Straße" and "G.-Freytag- Straße" cannot be served during this period. For school trips, the "Kloster" stop will be relocated to "Am Hagenholz" street. (see diagram below).
  • Klosterweg will also be closed to all road users at the junction with Pappeldamm. Pedestrians and cyclists will be diverted from the elementary school via Am Hagenholz.
  • Access to the properties in the Pappeldamm cul-de-sac area behind the intersection and the family center located there is generally possible. Otherwise, direct coordination with the residents will take place in advance

Important2:

The construction work is expected to be completed by the end of July 2026. Weather-related delays are possible.

Traffic obstructions are to be expected. The city of Salzgitter asks for your understanding for the restrictions associated with the construction work.
