Complete closure in Harburg: Reeseberg closed until December 2025!
Next Monday, September 8th, 2025, it will be uncomfortable for drivers in Harburg. The basic repair of Reeseberg Street is pending, a measure that is expected to last until mid-December. During this time, the street between Anzengruberstrasse and Friedrich-List-Strasse will be completely closed, which means some changes for residents. The Harburg district office has set itself the goal of rebuilding the road in small sections and thus sustainably improving the overall situation. We have to prepare for restrictions that will primarily affect commuters and residents, as harburg-aktuell.de reports.
The project includes extensive repairs to the roadway, sidewalks and parking stalls. At the same time, attention is also being paid to safety in the existing 30 km/h zone; Parts of the road will be redesigned to calm the traffic situation. 30 km/h zones are common in many residential areas in Germany and are intended to increase safety for pedestrians and cyclists. They are usually only found away from the main traffic flows, where through traffic remains low. According to information from adac.de, a 30 km/h zone begins with a special traffic sign and is often marked with a white “30” on the road.
Detour traffic and accessibility
To ensure accessibility to the district during construction work, traffic will be routed largely via Winsener Strasse, Jägerstrasse and Radickestrasse. Access via Meckelfelder Weg also remains guaranteed. However, access to the area is still possible for cyclists and pedestrians, subject to mutual consideration. This could be a challenge, especially during the construction period, but those responsible hope for understanding for the necessary measures.
The reconstruction of Reeseberg Street is part of a comprehensive project supported by funds from the RISE urban development program. As part of this measure, a new crossing option will also be created between the rose stairs and the playground, which will significantly improve safe access for residents. The new guidelines for setting up 30 km/h zones in Hamburg will also be taken into account. These new regulations make it easier to set a speed limit of 30 km/h at schools, daycare centers and playgrounds and are intended to further calm traffic, especially in sensitive areas.
The meaning of 30 km/h
The introduction and expansion of 30 km/h zones is not only a local question, but also a social one. The first 30 km/h zone was introduced in Germany in 1983 and since then there has been an increased response to the needs of pedestrians and cyclists. Newer legal regulations play an important role here by making it easier to create 30 km/h zones at schools and other facilities. The legislature also states that proof of a particular danger is no longer required, which means that residents can benefit directly from the legal regulation, as adfc.de explains.
The developments in Harburg clearly show that more space for safety and quality of life should be created in the local transport policy. Citizens are called upon to actively support the changes and prepare for the coming weeks.
