Clean river, safe streets: Leipzig's Volbedingstraße renewed!

Schönefeld-Abtnaundorf, Deutschland - in Leipzig is currently being worked intensively on Volbedingstraße between Mockauer Straße and Wenckstrasse. The expansion, which has been running for a year, is expected to be completed by June 2026. The total costs of the project amount to around 29 million euros, of which around 8 million euros come from grants. The aim of the measures is to improve the infrastructure and to implement environmentally friendly solutions. The work includes the renewal of the track systems, the repair of a bridge over the Parthe and the barrier -free conversion of the “Schönefeld, Volbedingstraße” stop.

A central aspect of construction activities is to improve safety in the street. In parallel to these measures, the Leipzig waterworks invest around 10 million euros in the renewal of drinking water and sewage systems. As part of this work, two new rain overflow structures are being built on Volbedingstrasse and Zeumerstrasse. These structures are equipped with new tubes made of fiber -fiber -reinforced plastic (GRP) that have a diameter of 2.40 meters. This innovation enables the effective filtration of coarse and suspended matter from the mixed water, especially during heavy rain events.

environmentally friendly solutions

The project manager Susanne Jeschke emphasizes that environmental protection is of great importance through the new facilities. It appeals to the population not to make sure that they do not dispose of garbage in the waste water in order to obtain the quality of the water in the Parthe. In dry weather, the wastewater is directed directly to the sewage treatment plant, while in the Zeumerstraße rain overflow structure, a horizontal rake takes over the function of the arithmetic tubes. The "amiscreen" system is new, which does not require an external power supply to clean the arithmetic tubes.

The civil engineering work on Volbedingstrasse and Zeumerstrasse are expected to be completed by the end of October 2025. The section is currently being released from Mockauer Straße to the Berthastraße intersection as residential traffic, while remaining work is still taking place in the sidewalk area. The next construction phase on Volbedingstraße comprises the track dismantling and important management work in terms of drinking water, power supply and waste water disposal. At the same time, the track construction work between the intersection area Zeumerstraße and Wenckstraße.

Overall, it can be seen that the comprehensive construction work not only aims at the modernization of the traffic routes, but also actively contribute to improving the water supply and quality in Leipzig. Further information on the work can be found on the pages of l.de .
