Refurbishment of Berensberger Straße in Richterich: full closure from Monday!

From Monday, June 2, 2025, the renovation of Berensberger Strasse in Aachen-Richterich begins. These extensive work affect the area between Roermonder Straße and the outcome of the town on the bridge over Kohlscheider Straße. The renovation measures are necessary to improve the infrastructure and will take by the end of July 2025. During this time, a full closure of Berensberger Straße is required, which will temporarily disrupt the flowing traffic in the region, but promises long-term advantages such as better cycle and footpaths as well as a redesign of public space, as aachen.de

The work is divided into several construction phases. The first phase runs from June 2 to June 23, 2025 and affects the section between Roermonder Straße and the Elsenborn/Parkstrasse intersection. During this period, the old asphalt ceiling will be exchanged from June 12, 3 p.m. until June 14, 8 a.m., whereby no vehicle traffic will be allowed. In addition, the Parkstrasse bus stop in the direction of Roermonder Straße.

Details of the construction phases

The second construction phase is scheduled for the period from June 24th to July 4, 2025 and affects the section between the Elsenborn/Parkstraße intersection and Schloss-Schönau-Straße. An asphalt ceiling is also installed here from June 30, 3 p.m. to July 2, 8 a.m. The traffic redirection takes place via Schloss-Schönau-Straße and Roermonder Straße. The bus stops between Parkstraße and Schloss-Schönau-Straße are also eliminated in this phase.

The third and last construction phase is planned from July 7th to July 3, 2025. It includes the section between Schloss-Schönau-Straße and the bridge over Kohlscheider Straße. The required asphalt ceiling installation is planned for the period from July 27, 3 p.m. to July 29, 8 a.m. However, residents can drive over Richtericher Straße at any time, while the diversion will take place via Ferber Berg and Schlossparkstrasse and the Richterich Siebweg bus stop will also be omitted.

During the entire construction period, parking in the side facilities and on the edge of the road is expressly prohibited.

Future -oriented infrastructures

These renovation work is part of a larger plan to make the city of Aachen future -proof. The Aachen News emphasizes that intensive work also takes place on other streets to ensure the functionality and quality of life of the city. For example, Roermonder Straße is also being renovated, with asphalt work being carried out in two sections. Here a full closure during the work will be necessary to ensure the safety of the workers and road users.

The modernization of the infrastructure initiated by the city of Aachen is essential, especially since many lines in the urban area date from the 1950s and the sewer network in the city center is sometimes over 100 years old. This necessity is underlined by aachen.de, since the implementation of such measures not only contributes to improving the streets, but also to increase the quality of life of the citizens.
