Saxony regional infrastructure projects

Overview

Infrastructure developments are progressing in the Saxony region. Initial funding has been secured for a bicycle expressway intended to connect Leipzig and Schkeuditz, with long-term objectives to extend the route to Halle. The project aims to provide a high-quality, safe connection largely separated from motor vehicle traffic to encourage commuters to switch from cars to bicycles.

Additionally, the A72 motorway section between Leipzig and Chemnitz is scheduled to open for single-lane traffic in October. This marks the completion of the final segment between the A38 and Rötha, enabling continuous travel from Hof to Leipzig. The project follows decades of delays since its expansion in 2002.
