Traffic lights bring organization at Hasberger Kreisel construction site - fiber optic upgrade ongoing
Hey there! Here's the lowdown on what's happening at Hasbergen's Haarlammert roundabout for the next couple of weeks, straight from the horses' mouth, aka PM/Stadtwerke Osnabrück AG. SWO Netz is busy as a bee, working on a crucial fiber optic connection at that very roundabout site.
To dig those excavation pits necessary for crossing the railway line underground, they'll be excavating pits on both sides. On the northern side, the pit's location in the slope area means a part of the roundabout needs to be closed off for safety reasons.
You don't have to sweat it if you're a pedestrian or cyclist; you'll still be able to pass by the construction site just fine. If everything goes swimmingly, they should wrap up the work in two weeks, putting Hasbergen one step closer to having even faster internet.
Now, here's a bit of insider knowledge on how these fiber optic projects usually play out. Typically, it starts with the planning phase, which can last anywhere from a few months to a year, depending on the project's complexity. Following that, they notify residents and businesses, usually through letters, local press, or municipal websites.
The construction phase, which involves trenching, cable laying, backfilling, and restoration, can take anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks per site, depending on the work's complexity. And lastly, there's cleanup and restoration, which usually takes a day or a week.
When it comes to traffic and pedestrian impacts, expect temporary lane closures or narrowed lanes, reduced speed limits, pedestrian detours, clear signage, and possibly night work. In busy areas like that roundabout, they might schedule the work during off-peak hours or at night to reduce disruption.
To keep tabs on the latest deets, hit up the Hasbergen municipal website or the city of Osnabrück, or check local newspapers and regional online portals for project announcements. If you find yourself directly affected, you might receive letters or emails.
Don't forget, the timeline for Hasbergen's Haarlammert roundabout isn't officially published yet, as of mid-June 2025. But keep your eyes peeled for updates, and good luck with the construction!
The advancement in technology, specifically fiber optics, is a crucial aspect of the ongoing project at Hasbergen's Haarlammert roundabout. SWO Netz is thoughtfully working to establish a faster internet connection in the area by upgrading the existing infrastructure.
