## Construction Work in Walther-Rathenau-Straße and Dennigstraße, Pforzheim (April 2024)
### Overview In April 2024, significant construction activities are planned on **Walther-Rathenau-Straße** and **Dennigstraße** in Pforzheim, Germany. These works are crucial for infrastructure improvements, including road resurfacing, utility upgrades, and enhanced pedestrian facilities.

### Impact on Traffic
- **Traffic Disruptions:** Motorists should expect partial or full lane closures on both streets during the construction period. This may lead to slower traffic flow and longer travel times, especially during peak hours.
- **Affected Areas:** - Walther-Rathenau-Straße: a roughly 200-meter section between the intersections with [Carl-Schurz-Straße and Eugen-Bolz-Straße] will be affected, resulting in a full closure at the intersection with Paul-Loebe-Straße. - Dennigstraße: main stretches along the construction zone (exact sections may vary depending on the specific work phase) will be partially closed, with a traffic light controlling traffic flow and access to businesses.
- **Turning Restrictions:** Turning left from Paul-Loebe-Straße into Walther-Rathenau-Straße and turning right from Walther-Rathenau-Straße into Paul-Loebe-Straße are still permitted, unlike in Dennigstraße where traffic disruptions are expected.

### Detour Routes
To mitigate traffic delays, authorities have set up clearly marked detour routes:
- **For Walther-Rathenau-Straße Traffic:** Traffic will be diverted via [Carl-Schurz-Straße, Gustav-Stresemann-Straße, Eugen-Bolz-Straße, and Walther-Rathenau-Straße to Paul-Loebe-Straße] to bypass the construction zone.
- **For Dennigstraße Traffic:** Vehicles are recommended to use [Carl-Schurz-Straße, Gustav-Stresemann-Straße, Eugen-Bolz-Straße, and Walther-Rathenau-Straße to Paul-Loebe-Straße] depending on direction of travel.
- **Public Transport:** Bus lines running through these areas may be rerouted or experience delays. Travelers should check updated schedules from Pforzheim public transit services before traveling.

### Duration of Work
- **Start Date:** Early April 2024 (exact date TBD by local authorities) - **Estimated Completion:** Late April 2024 for Walther-Rathenau-Straße (approximately 3–4 weeks duration) and approximately three weeks for Dennigstraße - Work will generally occur during daytime hours to minimize disturbance but may occasionally continue in the evenings for critical tasks.
