Traffic chaos in Heidelberg: Plöck closed from Monday from Monday!

From Monday, June 23, 2025, the Plöck in Heidelberg will be closed between Sofienstrasse and Nadlerstrasse for all road users, with the exception of pedestrians. This measure is necessary to carry out important renewal work on the districts of the municipal utilities that begin on Monday. According to rnz the blocking applies from Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The work is divided into several sections. The first section concerns the PLÖCK in the amount of house numbers 11 to 13 and is expected to take two weeks. This is followed by further work between the Penny Markt and the corner of Nadlerstrasse, which are planned for three weeks. Finally, Nadlerstrasse is also closed for around four weeks. During this time, access to the Plöck is only possible via Sofienstraße.

diversions and parking garage restrictions

The car traffic is diverted via Nadlerstrasse, while cyclists have to use alternative routes on adjacent roads. Exciting for the commuters: Between Monday, July 14th and Friday, August 1st, the entrance to the Galeria Heidelberg (Plöck 31) parking garage will not be possible on weekdays between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Only the exit remains preserved.

During this period, the residents will also have to expect short interruptions of supply in district heating. These interruptions are a side effect of the work; However, the residents will be informed in good time. In parallel to these measures, fiber optic cables are also laid at Friedrich-Ebert-Platz, which influences traffic routing on the east side and the bus stop nearby. This is moved around 30 meters to the west, near the Friedrich Ebert facility 25.

background of the work

The renovation work on district heating is not only a local matter, but part of a more comprehensive strategy to ensure security of supply with district heating. This type of energy supply is a central component for climate protection in Heidelberg. The district heating comes from power plants that generate both electricity and heat and thus achieve the highest efficiency. Compared to heating oil and natural gas, the Heidelberg district heating has a first -class primary energy factor of 0.31. These values ​​clearly show how important the district heating is for the sustainable development of the city, as the city of Heidelberg on its side emphasizes .

The measure on the PLOX is therefore not only a temporary impairment, but an important step on the way to a more sustainable and efficient energy future for Heidelberg. During the work, citizens may be prepared for diversions and alternative traffic tours, but public transport works as usual.
