Dortmund's Phoenix-See: Footpaths are comfortable and dust-free!

Dortmund's Phoenix-See: Footpaths are comfortable and dust-free!

Am 12. May 2025 the city of Dortmund begins with a comprehensive conversion of the footpaths around the Phoenix See. The measure falls under a million dollar project that aims to improve the recreational opportunities on the popular lake. Above all, the new paths should significantly reduce the symptoms of strollers about dust in the event of dryness and mud when wet.

The redesign starts on the north bank, specifically between the high -rise "Residence Phoenixsee" and the Kaiserberg. Here the previous water -bound cover layer is replaced by robust concrete stone pavement. Overall, the renovation affects about 1,300 meters on foot and extends over an area of ​​around 3,800 square meters. During the construction work, pedestrians have to switch to the south side of the lake, especially in the area of ​​the marina, since the cycle paths have to be partially blocked.

comfort and security for pedestrians

The route widths vary between 2.5 and 5 meters, which takes into account the different needs of the visitors. The aim is that walkers can run dry on the weather regardless of the weather. This is to avoid future conflicts with cyclists who often occurred in the past, since pedestrians often have to switch to cycle paths in wet conditions.

The construction work is carried out in sections, so that already completed sections are immediately released for the public. The expected completion of the redesign measures is planned for the end of July 2025. The playground on the Kaiserberg remains accessible via the parking lot or the adjacent residential area during the construction work.

expansion plans for 2026

Another large project is already on the plan: In the first half of 2026, the expansion of the footpaths on the south side of Lake Phoenix is ​​planned. An area of ​​4,200 square meters is built, whereby an approximately 1,000 meter long section must also be temporarily completely blocked. These continuous measures should increase the quality of stay on the lake sustainably and better meet the needs of those seeking relaxation.

Overall, the conversion offers a promising perspective for the future of the Phoenix Lake by taking into account both the comfort of pedestrians and the safety of all users during the construction period. Further information on the renovation work is at ruHR24.de dortmund.de
