Friedrichstraße, a central artery in the heart of the city, is undergoing a significant transformation. The construction progress is on schedule, with workers laying gray concrete paving stones along the sidewalks and installing new bicycle parking facilities.

The completed areas of Friedrichstraße, from Kaufland to Bachstraße, the cross-connection Kirchfeldstraße, and half of the area between Bachstraße and Fürstenwall, showcase the future quality of stay along the street. These sections display the multifunctional areas, where smaller anthracite-colored concrete stones mark spaces for outdoor dining and vehicle access. The first benches have been installed, and the first street trees have been planted, adding a touch of greenery to the bustling street.

The second section of Friedrichstraße will undergo expansion in the near future. The northern part of Friedrichstraße, including Herzogstraße, is set for expansion in the spring of 2026. After this expansion, the southern Graf-Adolf-Platz will be designed barrier-free, with the design planned for a construction time of nine months.

Intersection areas on Friedrichstraße have been designed to be barrier-free, including tactile guidance elements to aid visually impaired pedestrians. These thoughtful design choices ensure that the street remains accessible to all.

The mayor has set a goal to streamline the construction measures along Friedrichstraße, aiming for a smooth and efficient process. However, the specific mayor making these statements could not be confirmed from the available information.

As the construction progresses, the vibrant and transformed Friedrichstraße is steadily taking shape, promising a better and more enjoyable urban experience for its visitors. The first section of Friedrichstraße and its cross-streets are expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026, marking a significant milestone in this city-shaping project.
