Construction sites in Potsdam: Schloßstrasse and Ahornstrasse closed for months!
There's a lot of construction going on in Potsdam this week, and that's bringing with it some changes to traffic. The focus is on the construction work on Schloßstrasse, where a new district heating pipeline is currently being laid. From Monday, the section between Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and Am Neuen Markt will be closed to traffic. Pedestrians and cyclists will not be affected by this closure, but a half-way one-way street will be set up between Neuer Markt and Werner-Seelenbinder-Straße, which will allow drivers to only drive in the direction of Breite Straße. The access to Am Neuen Markt is via Siefertstraße, while the exit via Schloßstraße leads to Breite Straße.
The city has set up a release for both directions on Friedrich-Ebert-Straße between Yorckstraße and Schloßstraße. In addition, a new traffic light system was installed on the corner of Friedrich-Ebert-Straße and Yorckstraße; Here you are allowed to turn right into the street Am Kanal. The construction work on Schloßstrasse is expected to last until the end of February 2026, so residents and commuters should be prepared for long detours. This information comes from the current reports of the Daily Mirror.
More construction sites in Potsdam
But it's not just Schloßstrasse that is affected: two more closures will begin in the city on Monday. On Ahornstrasse in Babelsberg there will be a complete closure between Sophie-Farber-Strasse and Orenstein-&-Koppel-Strasse in order to lay water house connections. In Schwalbenweg in Neu-Fahrland, the section between Ringstrasse and Am Kirchberg will also be closed due to pipeline work.
The construction work being carried out in Potsdam this year is part of a larger program to maintain traffic routes and supply lines. In 2024, around 3,615 new applications for construction sites on public roads have already been processed, which illustrates the large amount of work required. The city of Potsdam is striving to optimize traffic flow, especially in view of the growing demand in the region, as the city administration emphasizes. Current information about all construction sites is available potsdam.de accessible.
Long-term strategy for transport and infrastructure
Like those too Info Potsdam reports, the construction measures are not just short-term solutions, but part of a long-term strategy that aims to adapt the city's infrastructure to the needs of the growing population. Construction sites are often carried out during the holidays to reduce traffic loads and keep restrictions to a minimum. Because during the holidays, private motorized traffic drops by up to 33% on certain routes.
Residents are asked to be patient and use alternative means of transport or avoid peak times. The city is doing everything it can to manage all restrictions as best as possible and regularly informs citizens about the status of the work and the impact on traffic.
