Expansion of Pedestrian and Cycle Path Along Mosel Underway in Metternich

Good news for residents and visitors of Metternich, as work on the expansion of the pedestrian and cycle path along the Mosel is set to begin in the coming days. The project, being carried out by the Eigenbetrieb Grünflächen- und Bestattungswesen, aims to widen the path by an additional 1 meter, making it 2.50 meters wide.

The work is expected to take between six to ten weeks, depending on the weather. The Leinpfad section, which has been closed since late July, is seeing progress with the completion of work on the high-pressure gas pipeline by Energienetze Mittelrhein.

The expansion does not interfere with the supply lines of the lock, and the detour for pedestrians and cyclists will remain in place during the construction. Two recesses will be included in the expansion to facilitate maneuvering when the path is crowded.

The closed area along the river is owned by the Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt Mosel-Saar-Lahn and serves as a mooring point. The expansion does not affect the use of the area as a mooring point.

The construction site preparation was carried out last week, and the commissioned company will set up the construction site in the coming days. The expansion is taking place at the height of the street "An der Eisbreche".

It is important to note that the fence along the Mosel will not be moved as part of this expansion. The fence prevents a wider expansion of the pedestrian and cycle path.

For those seeking the most recent official status and timeline for this infrastructure project, local municipal websites of Koblenz or regional transport authorities, or environmental and urban development offices along the Mosel, would be the likely sources to consult.
