Bad Honnef starts mobility transition: New train station and bridge planned!

in Bad Honnef something is happening: The plans for the new mobility station at the train station are taking on concrete shapes. As ksta.de reports that this states that this is Mobility project represents a significant step towards a sustainable turnover in the city. The planning committee has already given the green light for the construction of the mobile station at the final stop of the light rail line 66, as well as for a pedestrian bridge over the federal road 42, which is important for the connection to the new train station.

Mayor Otto Neuhoff emphasizes the urgency of these measures. The pedestrian bridge in particular is considered essential to improve the connection. Deutsche Bahn plans to build the new train station at the final stop in the second half of 2026 during a six -month blocking break. The new platforms are to be designed barrier -free and connected to elevators via a bridge, which not only increases comfort, but also serves inclusion.

comprehensive mobility concept

An additional pedestrian and cyclist bridge is also part of the plan, which leads via federal road 42 to GirardDallee. This bridge will have a length of around 43.50 meters and is provided with an elevator and a stair tower. However, the construction of the stair tower will only be possible from 2028, since a discount structure of the wastewater plant must be built beforehand.

A mobility node is also planned that is intended to optimally link the different means of transport. The large -scale parking lot next to the final stop is used for this, and a feasibility study provides space for bus stops, a station forecourt with plants, trees and seating. A parking garage with up to 300 parking spaces and bicycle parking spaces in the northern area of ​​the parking lot is planned. The estimated costs for these projects amount to around 9.5 million euros for the parking garage and the open space design as well as around 4.8 million euros for the infrastructure and transport facilities, whereby the city is hoping for grants of 90 percent.

challenges and voices from politics

The Greens in Bad Honnef have campaigned for an improvement in the station situation and criticize the current state that is neglected and not barrier-free. As Ausbadhonnef.de concerned about the high costs that the city should raise for these measures, especially with regard to the pedestrian and bicycle bridge and the potential parking fees that could make life difficult for the commuters.

The planned bridge is described as architecturally exceptional, but also described as expensive. So far, the city administration has insufficiently informed local politics about the costs, which raises questions. In addition, the way to the stop for residents: inside from southern locations could be longer, which causes criticism. In the urban development session, the Greens were able to add additional success in securing areas in the landscape protection area.

conclusion and outlook

The challenges in the field of mobility are also present in Bad Honnef, as the Scientific Advisory Board with the Federal Minister of Digital and Transport makes it clear. The pressure on the urban infrastructure does not become less due to rapidly increasing demands and the need to act more climate -friendly. The turnover of traffic is not only a local necessity, but an important step into the future, which not only presents Bad Honnef, but also many other cities with the same challenges. Various approaches, such as car sharing or the expansion of bike paths, are crucial to improve the traffic situation, such as the bpb.de analyzed.

We are excited to see how the plans will develop and what decisions will be made in the coming months to form a more livable and sustainable city.
