Pothole -free street? Construction work on the K 36 ensure diversions!

The current construction work on Kreisstraße K 36 in the Neckarsteinach-Darsberg region is progressing as planned. As reported by hessen.de , the work in the section between Grein and Waldkindergarten will be completed until April 4, 2025. Especially on the weekend of April 4th to 7th, the construction work on the open route is planned to the city kindergarten in Darsberg, whereby the traffic will be completely closed on Friday evening from 5:00 p.m.

from Friday, April 4, to Monday morning, April 7, no access to Darsberg should be possible from a southern direction. The detour takes place via Schönau and mainly affects through traffic, which is redirected from the B 37 to Neckarsteinach, the L 535 (Schönauer Straße) to Schönau and the K 4116 (Greinerstraße) back to the K 36.

construction phases and repair measures

From April 7, the repair of the route between the southern outcome of Greins and the entrance to Darsberg begins, whereby the work is expected to continue until the end of April or early May. In order to ensure that Grein remains movable from Schönau, Darsberg will only be accessible from the direction of Neckarsteinach. In addition, access to the forest kindergarten in Grein is no longer possible from Darsberg; Here the K 36 must be used from Grein.

The extensive construction measure to renew the K 36 in the passage through the town and on the open route between Darsberg and Grein comprises several important steps. According to the same source, the damage to the road, which is in the form of cracks, is remedied. With a total length of about 3.5 km, the road is milled by 9 cm deep, with even deeper damaged areas being repaired. A new road is built up with a binder layer and asphalt ceiling, while the concrete slabs of the drainage channel are removed and replaced by a new gutter in asphalt construction.

costs and responsibility

The total costs of the repair measure amount to around 1.35 million euros. These are worn by the Bergstrasse district. Another block that took place last year affected the K 36 between the Ingelbach level crossing and the federal road 414 (B 414). This was necessary from December 4th to 13th, 2024 to renew the road surface on a distance of around 420 meters. This measure was also carried out under full closure and cost around 85,000 euros for the Altenkirchen district. The Landesbetrieb Mobility Diez and the Road Championship Altenkirchen were responsible for this work, as in an article on ww-kurier.de In view of the challenges that the maintenance of the street infrastructure brings, regular construction and maintenance measures are considered essential. In view of the weather and the associated wear and tear, proactive planning and execution of such projects is necessary to ensure the safety and accessibility of the streets in the future. The situation underlines the need for sustainable transport and infrastructure policy, which takes into account both the high costs and the growing requirements of the transport infrastructure, as is emphasized in a further analysis report vcoe.at .
