Peine's Schäferstraße faces two years of sewer renovations starting May 18
Major sewer renovation work is set to begin in Schäferstraße on May 18. The project, led by Peine’s municipal drainage utility, will bring significant changes to traffic and local services. Residents and commuters can expect disruptions for over two years as the work progresses in two phases. The first phase will focus on the section between Duttenstedter Straße and Gunzelinstraße in 2026. The second phase, scheduled for 2027, will cover the stretch from Gunzelinstraße to Am Ottos Hof. The entire project is expected to finish by the end of June 2027, depending on weather conditions.
During construction, Schäferstraße will be fully closed to through traffic. Residents will still have access up to the site, though temporary restrictions on property entry may occur. Bus route 524 and the 'Schäferstraße' stop will move temporarily to Im Krähenwinkel. The work includes relining or internally coating the main sewer manholes along the street. Around 600 metres of stormwater mains and 700 metres of foul sewer mains will be rehabilitated using trenchless methods. A 100-metre section of the main stormwater drain will be replaced with PE pipes through open-cut construction. Property connections and road gullies will also be renewed, using both open-cut and trenchless techniques.
The project aims to upgrade essential drainage infrastructure in the area. Once completed, the renovated sewers and stormwater systems will serve the community for years to come. Residents and businesses should plan for ongoing disruptions until mid-2027.
