On Wednesday 14th August, just in time for the end of the school summer holiday in Hessen, the second section of the lowered B 454 road in Stadt­al­len­dorf was opened to traffic. The participants at the official opening ceremony included Hessen’s Minister for Transport and Economics Flo­ri­an Rentsch and Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Transport Ministry Jan Mücke.

This section consists of eleven structures over a length of 512 m, including for instance noise protection measures, retaining walls and a flyover to keep the road free of crossroads. A total of around 700 bored piles were driven, 65.000 m³ of earth were moved and around 4.000 m³ of concrete were used. The total costs amounted to around nine million Euros.

The geotechnology department of KREBS+KIEFER Darmstadt was commissioned by Hessen Mobil, Straßen- und Verkehrsmanagement Marburg, to check eleven structures in accordance with RVP regulations.
