Construction work causing half-closure of tunnel on B297, Neckartailfingen, lasting for six months.
The Stuttgart Regional Government and the Esslingen District Office are working diligently to find alternative solutions for a road closure detour route for the cities of Aichtal and Nürtingen, due to upcoming flood protection enhancement work along the B 297 in Neckartailfingen.
The new traffic order, once approved, will regulate traffic through traffic lights during the construction period. This measure is intended to ensure the safety and smooth flow of traffic, despite the construction work.
The second phase of the flood protection enhancement began on August 4. The goal is to create a 100-year flood protection that accounts for future climate changes. The work involves increasing the flood protection wall of the B 297 near the tunnel entrance from Tübingen and over the tunnel by up to 75 centimeters over a length of 525 meters.
For the work in the intake area of the tunnel from Tübingen, the road must be partially closed. An alternative half-side closure with traffic light regulation of the B297 is being considered. The tunnel is expected to be half-side closed for the entire duration of the construction work, which is approximately six months.
The Regional Government is seeking a solution that would minimize disruption to the cities of Aichtal and Nürtingen. The District Office will consult the affected municipalities in the course of approving the new traffic order.
The Regional Government is currently conducting further traffic studies and calculations by engineering firms to optimize traffic light control for traffic. They aim to find a feasible solution together with all parties involved by Friday, August 8.
For accurate and up-to-date information, consulting local traffic authorities, the regional road management agency, or official announcements from the municipality of Neckartailfingen would be necessary. Additionally, local transit apps or regional transport websites may provide alerts or alternative routes during the closure period.
It is important to note that the exact detour route and expected timeframe for resolving the closure cannot be determined without concrete details from the search results or an official source. We encourage everyone to stay informed and follow the guidance provided by local authorities during this time.
The Regional Government is working on politics to find an alternative road closure detour route for the cities of Aichtal and Nürtingen, given the general-news of the flood protection enhancement work along the B 297. The new traffic order, once approved, will involve regulations through traffic lights during the construction period, aiming to ensure safety and smooth flow of traffic.
