Construction site chaos in Wels: Stadthalle blocks until the end of August!

In Wels, summer is characterized by numerous construction work and associated traffic barriers. From Monday, July 7th, the much expected renovation of the forecourt of the town hall begins. This means that during the construction period by the end of August, there are no events in the town hall and pedestrians are not allowed to pass the forecourt. Despite these restrictions, the adjacent business premises and restaurants remain open so that residents and visitors can continue to use their usual offer. Tips reports that the parking lot on the festival meadow is preserved and the rest of the folk garden is accessible.

The renovation measures include a variety of improvements: there will be new outdoor lighting, the cover asphalt is renewed and the entrance zone receives a new small stone paving. The cyclists also thought: Suitable bicycle stands are set up and a fortified area for parking benches are created. Pollers are also set to differentiate the area to the exhibition parking lot and the Austria tobacco pavilion. A flower clock and a fountain are covered during the construction work to protect it.

But the construction sites are not limited to the town hall. In July and August, short -term locks can also be expected on the Traunradweg R4 and the parallel walkway. In addition, longer locks with diversions via Thalheim are planned for autumn and winter. From the beginning of August, the demolition in the western area will also follow over the Almtalbahn to the old exhibition halls 9 to 13 and the demolition of the fortified areas. Overall, these measures should contribute to a significant improvement in the infrastructure in Wels. Further information can be found on the website MeinDärd

Developments in Wels are in line with the current challenges that cities are facing the infrastructure. As the [German Institute for Standardization] (https://difu.de/projekte/infrastructure-und-stadt development) explains, many cities experience a change in the central framework for energy, heat and water supply as well as in wastewater disposal. These changes often also have an impact on the social infrastructure and everyday mobility of the citizens.

Overall, it can be said: Wels tackles the construction sites and invests in a future -proof infrastructure. The citizens are called up to be patient during this phase and to use the possibilities of the events in the city elsewhere. In summary, it should be noted: the city of Wels is on the right track!
