Overview

• Frankfurt has centrally coordinated all traffic-relevant works since 2009 using a digital platform that aggregates planned closures and feeds real-time data to navigation systems.
• City officials attribute the high volume of projects to renewing aging underground infrastructure, much of it 50 to 60 years old.
• A recent overlap of tram-track replacement on the Friedensbrücke with the Museumsuferfest dismantling caused severe congestion that coordinators acknowledged as a planning error.
• Hesse will unlock a test version of its Baustellenmanagement for municipalities in mid to late September, extending a tool previously used internally by Hessen Mobil to allow local project entries.
• Other Hessian cities report large volumes as well, with Wiesbaden coordinating about 5,000 works annually and Kassel about 4,000, while Marburg still handles projects in separate departments.
