Munich Shuts Fürstenrieder Street Northbound After Cavities Found Near Laimer Platz

Engineers attribute the voids to decayed supports from the 1988 U‑Bahn build.

Overview

  • Police closed Fürstenrieder Straße in the northbound direction between Camerloher Straße and Gotthardstraße on Tuesday, with traffic already being diverted from Ammerseestraße.
  • Routine soil checks for the Tram‑Westtangente uncovered a head‑sized hole and further cavities near the U‑Bahn station Laimer Platz.
  • Geotechnical probing found inadequate soil density down to roughly eight meters, indicating additional voids along the former construction pit.
  • MVG plans to excavate and refill the ground, using cement mortar from eight to four meters and gravel and concrete above, with work expected to take a few days up to two weeks.
  • Bus lines 51 and 151 are rerouted via Westendstraße between Ammerseestraße and Laimer Platz, and line 168 is diverted between Guido‑Schneble‑Straße and Laimer Platz.
