Works schedule

Commencement of work: 19 May 2018

Traffic information

What is the current traffic situation?

For vehicular traffic:

The affected sections will be closed off to traffic, one by one, as the project progresses. However, two 6.5-metre wide passages for cars will be guaranteed for traffic in both directions at all times. The bus lane has been eliminated on the odd-numbered side of Rue de Hollerich, and traffic is now two-way.

Vehicular access to private property will be maintained as long as physically possible. Pedestrian access and access for emergency services will be guaranteed throughout the duration of the works.

For businesses and deliveries:

The City will try to ensure access for deliveries to local businesses throughout the duration of the works. However, during some phases of construction, it will be difficult to manoeuvre large delivery trucks through the two vehicle passages. Before making deliveries, please contact the work site manager to ensure that you can make your deliveries safely.

For public transport users:

Due to the removal of the bus lane on the lower section of Rue Hollerich, delays may be experienced on AVL lines 1, 4, 27, and CN 1, as well as on RGTR bus lines.

As construction progresses, the traffic constrictions will change.

How long will the work take?

Planned completion: end of 2020

What work has already been completed?

The first phase of the work on the first section on Rue de Hollerich between Rue JB Merkels and Rue Wenceslas I has been completed. The second phase is in the finishing stages.

What remains to be done?

For the section between Route d'Esch and Place JB Merkels, the contractor (Perrard) is now doing preparatory work to install a temporary traffic lane. In the section between Rue de la Fonderie and Route d'Esch, the contractor (Karp Kneip) is completing the work on the sewers, the dry utility networks and the kerb, and will then start the work on the third section.

First section, Rue de Hollerich between Rue JB Merkels and Rue Wenceslas 1er

In this section, work will be carried out in several phases, beginning in May 2018 and ending in December 2020.

In the initial phases, construction will be limited to the even-numbered side of the street. The contractor will work on the sewer network first, and then carry out the construction of gas and water mains, as well as connections to houses. Then, the dry utility networks and their connections under the pavement will be replaced. After this, the even-numbered side of the street will be repaved, and work on this side will be complete. The contractor will then do the odd-numbered side of the street, beginning with the work on the water and gas mains, and then finishing with the dry utility networks before paving.

Second section, Rue de Hollerich between Rue JB Merkels and Place Pierre et Paul

In this section, work will be done in several phases, beginning in October 2018 and ending in July 2020.

During Phase A, work will be carried out on the intersection of Rue JB Merkels and Rue de Hollerich. Next, the work on the sewer network will be done in the middle of Rue Hollerich, between Rue JB Berkels and Place Pierre et Paul. The contractor will then continue in front of the church on the even-numbered side, with the installation of Creos Électricité's multi-cable electrical conduit, the water and gas mains, as well as the dry utility networks. After these have been installed, this section will be repaved. The last phases of the project will involve installing the dry utility networks on the odd-numbered side of the street and repaving this section.
