Maintenance of the K6: 190,000 euros for the most expensive district road!

Die Kreisstraße 6 (K6) in the district of southern Weinstraße, known for its length of 24.6 kilometers, continuously pays special attention. This street runs from the Gäu in the east to the Palatinate Forest in the west and also acts as an important motorway feeder.

The condition of the K6 depends heavily on external factors such as wind, weather, snow and the nature of the underground. Regular maintenance measures are necessary to keep the road in an acceptable condition, especially since the K6 is considered the most expensive district road in the district.

Current maintenance measures

A recent section of the road blanket between Ramberg and Burrweiler was renewed. This non -eligible measure extended over 1.25 kilometers and cost around 190,000 euros. The work was carried out in October by the Gerst & Juchem company from Edenkoben. Nevertheless, an average of 592 vehicles uses this forest route every day.

It is also important for the public that the K6 is a connection for local public transport because it operates the Modenbacher Hof. With a view to past measures, a 2.5 km long section between Hüttenbrunnen and Villa Medica was renewed in 2018. In addition, a 2.3 km long section of the route between the Naturfreundehaus and the Lolosruhe parking lot was released in early 2023.

future planning

For the coming months, further maintenance work is planned. In 2024, renovation measures between Venningen and Altdorf and up to the motorway feeder for the A 65 are planned. In addition, a slope slide on the K6 near the Heldenstein forest house was successfully renovated this year.

At the official release of the last work, several local politicians and civil servants were present, which underlines the importance of this street for the region. In view of the continuous investments in the K6, the district remains to modernize the infrastructure and enable the residents and the visitors to drive a safe and comfortable journey.

The operators have recognized the need for maintaining this important traffic artery for years and continue to optimize them according to the challenges that this forest road brings. The maintenance work thus represents an indispensable part of infrastructure care.
