Construction of bike-friendly zones commences on ST 2245: attention given to enhancing safety for cyclists
New Express Cycle Path to Enhance Cycling Network in Fürth, Germany
A new express cycle path is set to be constructed in the District of Fürth, Germany, as part of a larger effort to improve the cycling infrastructure in the area. The new cycle path section, which will meet the standards for fast cycle routes, is planned to be part of the future fast cycle route from Nuremberg to Zirndorf.
The construction of this cycle path will close a significant gap in the local cycling network and is expected to benefit the Jordanstraße industrial area, the local pigeon club, and residents in the area. The new cycle path section will connect the Bibertal to the state road St 2245, providing a safer and more comfortable route for cyclists.
The construction is being undertaken by the Nuremberg Building Authority, with the Free State of Bavaria taking over the section of the town center bypass, both in terms of planning and financing. In return, the city of Oberasbach would take over responsibility for future cycle path maintenance.
The new cycle path section will be built on the former Bibertbahn track between Frauenschlägerstraße and Jordanstraße. The construction aims to improve traffic safety for cyclists and is scheduled to be completed by December 2025.
Parallel to this, the city of Nuremberg is driving forward its planning on its territory, with the city council already approving the preliminary planning along the Rothenburger Straße last year. The construction of a new section of the Bibertal cycle path in Zirndorf is also part of this initiative.
The new cycle path is part of the town center bypass of the St 2245 in Zirndorf, with the city of Zirndorf responsible for the bypass since early 2025. The construction of this cycle path is a significant step towards creating a more connected and comfortable cycling network in the District of Fürth.
Planning for the further course on the old Bibertbahn track towards Leichendorf has been approved by the Bavarian State Ministry. The responsible authority for the construction of the section of the express cycle path between Fürth and Zirndorf that already meets the standards for express cycle paths and is in planning operation is not explicitly stated in the provided search results. However, such regional cycle path projects are typically managed by the local regional management or municipal authorities of the Fürth district area.
First measures for the fast cycle route have already been implemented on the Gostenhofer Hauptstraße, in the Bauerngasse, and on parts of the Rothenburger Straße and the Felsenstraße in Nuremberg. The new express cycle path in Fürth is set to be a valuable addition to the existing cycling infrastructure, making cycling a safer and more attractive option for residents and visitors alike.
