Construction site chaos in Mombach: Suderstrasse and closed on the polygon!

Construction site chaos in Mombach: Suderstrasse and closed on the polygon!

On March 29, 2025, comprehensive construction work begins in Mainz-Mombach, which have a significant impact on the traffic situation in the region. The measures focus primarily on Suderstrasse, the street on the polygon and the west ring. According to Merkurist , these roads will be renovated in two construction phases until spring 2027.

The renovation includes both the renewal of the main ragwater canal and house connections in the affected areas. Work on gas and water pipes are also planned. The foot and cycle paths remain usable, but parts of Suderstrasse and the polygon are completely blocked in sections. The construction work is carried out by the Mainz business, Mainzer Netze GmbH and Mainzer district heating GmbH.

time frame and construction phases

The first construction phase starts at the end of March/early April 2025 and is scheduled to last until the beginning of 2026. This phase ranges from Westring via Kreuzstraße to the intersection "On the Langen Lein". The second construction phase is planned for early 2026 to spring 2027 and extends from the intersection "On the Langen Lein" to Turmstrasse. Both phases are designed to advance the expansion of the district heating network and to improve the traffic infrastructure. Mainzer Stadtwerke emphasizes that the traffic for fire brigade, emergency services and garbage disposal remains guaranteed at all times.

For residents, it will usually be possible to temporarily drive to their buildings, which makes a certain restriction of the traffic situation easier. Residents are asked to park their garbage cans at defined collection points that are communicated to them in a letter of residents. Signs along the construction site indicate the locations of the collection points.

diversions and parking facilities

The construction site will also have an impact on private transport. Readings and restrictions on parking in the surrounding streets have already been coordinated. Buses also receive adapted detour routes so as not to hinder public transport.

In addition, information events for the citizens take place. On February 20, 2025, an evening event in Haus Haifa, Zeystraße 5, 55120 Mainz-Mombach will be organized, at which Mombacher Mayor Christian Kanka will inform about the construction process.

The extensive construction work is part of a larger plan to modernize the infrastructure in Mainz. For example, 205 construction sites in the urban areas have already been announced for 2024, some of which will cause major traffic disruptions. As Merkurist , many of these construction projects will continue to lead to a new transport regulations in the next few years.

The citizens are called to adapt to the upcoming changes and to use the corresponding information regarding the construction site and the changes in traffic to minimize possible inconvenience.
