Marburg's key bridges face four years of major roadworks starting March 2

Major roadworks are set to begin this spring on two key bridges linking Marburg and the Lahnbergen district. The project, managed by Hessen Mobil, will renew both structures and their connecting roads over the next four years. Residents can expect traffic changes as construction gets underway on 2 March.

The first phase starts at the southern section of the Hansenhaus interchange. Crews will resurface the L 3088 roadway and fully close the interchange toward Kirchhain. Drivers heading that way will be diverted via L 3289, L 3125, and L 3089 through Marburg before rejoining Großseelheimer Straße.

Next, work shifts to the L 3088 roadway near the Hansenhaus interchange, again requiring a complete closure. The third stage focuses on the L 3092 bridge toward Lahnberge, where temporary median crossovers will reduce traffic to one lane each way.

The final phase, lasting about three weeks, will affect the northern part of the Hansenhaus interchange. Throughout the project, Hessen Mobil is sharing real-time updates via WhatsApp to help locals plan ahead. Preparatory steps are already in place to ease disruption where possible.

The entire scheme runs from 2024 to 2028, covering all sections of the bridges and their connecting routes.

The four-year project aims to modernise two vital bridges and their access roads. Full closures and lane reductions will take place in stages, with diversions clearly signposted. Hessen Mobil's WhatsApp alerts will keep drivers informed as each phase progresses.
