Construction site chaos in Esslingen: Entengrabenstrasse becomes a one-way street!
The Esslingen public utilities (SWE) have started expanding the water supply pipes on Entengrabenstrasse. The work started on Monday, June 2, 2025, and is expected to last until September 12, 2025. The construction site extends over the area between Obertorstrasse and Urbanstrasse, where the line needs to be replaced due to damage. To maintain traffic flow, traffic will be routed past the construction site in one lane. This is partly at the expense of the lanes, as traffic in the direction of Neckarforum is directed onto the opposite lane, while one lane remains in the direction of Maille.
Access to Hindenburgstrasse will be closed to cars; Only cycling is allowed here. The municipal utilities plan to complete the first construction phase up to the junction with Hindenburgstrasse by the summer holidays. The second construction phase will follow during the summer holidays and extends between Hindenburgstrasse and Urbanstrasse. More detailed information about traffic routing is currently being developed so that all road users are kept up to date.
Additional traffic restrictions in Esslingen
It's not just the construction site on Entengrabenstraße that is causing traffic restrictions in Esslingen. From June 2nd to mid-September 2025, work will also be carried out in other parts of the city that will also have an impact on traffic. Hindenburgstrasse will be closed to all motor vehicles, cyclists and buses until the end of October as a fundamental redesign is taking place here. In Berkheim, the sewer on Limburgstrasse is being replaced, which will lead to a closure to vehicle traffic and diversions for bus routes until the end of September.
In summary, it can be seen that the city of Esslingen is planning extensive construction sites that will last several months and affect various parts of the city. These measures are intended to improve the infrastructure and repair any damage, while at the same time the city tries to disrupt traffic as little as possible. Further information about the traffic restrictions can be found on the city website, where current updates are provided esslingen.de reports that....
