The construction work to renovate the gas main pipeline in Giessen's Nordanlage began today. Stadtwerke Gießen AG (SWG) is renovating part of the gas pipeline in the Nordanlage from Steinstraße to Rodheimer Straße in the direction of the Westanlage.
Safe and reliable supply
The aim of the construction work is to replace the pipeline in need of renovation in order to continue to guarantee a safe and reliable natural gas supply in this area. Instead of a completely new pipeline, SWG is only laying a 120 metre long fabric hose. This will be glued into the existing gas pipeline and thus compress the pipeline. For this reason, the municipal utilities expect the construction work to be completed in just two weeks.
Part of the carriageway closed
During the construction work, one of the lanes in the direction of the Westanlage will be closed in this area of the Nordanlage. The work will be carried out during the holiday period due to the significantly lower volume of traffic. Traffic will resume without restrictions until the start of school. Stadtwerke Gießen asks all road users for their understanding for any traffic obstructions.
