In cooperation with Bonn-Netz GmbH, the civil engineering department has now completed the majority of the work required to renew the pipes in Bornheimer Straße between Am Alten Friedhof and Ellerstraße. The final road construction has already begun in some areas. From Monday, November 11, 2024, until probably the beginning of 2025, the section of Bornheimer Straße between Hochstadenring and Taunussstraße will have to be fully closed. In this area, the gap between important line connections between the two sections of Bornheimer Straße will be closed.

During the closure, Bornheimer Straße between Eifelstraße and Taunusstraße will be open to traffic in both directions. This should make it easier to access Taunusstraße, Gabelsbergerstraße and Hunsrückstraße. It is only possible to enter Bornheimer Straße via Eifelstraße in this section. During the closure, traffic coming from the direction of the old cemetery can use Bornheimer Straße as far as the junction with Hochstadenring. It will then be diverted via Hochstadenring.

After this closure on Hochstadenring, the final work on the surface will begin with the redesign of the road space. According to current plans, the roadworks are expected to last until at least March 2025. The majority of the construction work, which began at the start of 2023, has so far involved excavating and replacing supply lines. These renovations have taken longer than planned.

The major underground reconstruction will be followed by the redesign of the streetscape with a new cross-section. Overall, Bornheimer Strasse will be significantly upgraded - from a mere thoroughfare to a modern city street with a high quality of living and life.

The city will significantly improve the quality of life through wider sidewalks, accessibility, more tranquillity and more greenery. Road users will benefit from increased safety and better local mobility in future. The new design is already taking shape, particularly at the level of the police station.

The city administration has distributed 1,200 copies of the information letter in Bornheimer Strasse, Taunusstrasse, Gabelsbergerstrasse and Hunsrückstrasse.

The city has published further information on the conversion and two visualizations of the future Bornheimer Straße on its municipal website. www.  bonn.de/bornheimer-strasse (opens in a new tab)
