Plettenberg and Mannheim construction works set to end closures by August and July

In Plettenberg, Germany, the city council met with residents and construction officials after complaints about a slow‑moving road project between Kückerheim and Himmelmert. The municipality confirmed that the full road closure will be lifted on 20 August, ahead of the school holiday break, and that water‑pipe installation is near completion. Mayor Ralf Beßler and the building‑office team said work is on schedule despite staffing constraints.

In Mannheim, workers on the Kaiserring rail and road upgrade announced that the temporary diversion and station closures will end on 3 July, with tram and bus services resuming the following day. Additional track renewal work is scheduled to continue through September, and the full project is expected to finish by early November.
