traffic

Bundesstrasse 275 and Bundesstrasse 8 meet in the village . Due to the topography, building a bypass road is time- consuming. Due to the high volume of traffic, the citizens' initiative “Outside instead of in the middle” is committed to building a bypass road. In the current Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan from 2016, bypassing is an urgent requirement, i.e. H. classified with high priority. However, processing was initially postponed by the state of Hesse (so-called Al-Wazir list from May 2017), because due to the large number of requirement plan projects, only those projects with an advanced planning status can continue to be processed until 2021. The B8 bypass is currently being examined for those projects that were not taken into account in the Al-Wazir list of May 2017 and that could be included in the update of the list of the state of Hesse's requirement plan measures to be processed until 2025.
