The city of Giengen had the opportunity to renovate the road surface on the B492 at the same time as the exits were closed and to create new intersections that would cope with the expected future traffic volume, said Giengens Mayor Dieter Henle at the official clearance.
Bypass with threading track in spring
The reason for the renovation of the A7 was a heavily damaged concrete pavement between the Giengen / Herbrechtingen and Niederstotzingen junctions on both lanes.
Only the bypass planned a little later with a threading lane for right-handers at junction L 1079 / B 492 has to be postponed into spring. The bottlenecks in terms of material delivery could not be prevented, says Henle.
