News Article: Construction Plans for Remaining Sections of L719 Towards Siegquelle Progressing
The plans for the two remaining construction sections of the L719 towards Siegquelle are currently underway, according to Straßen NRW. These sections are currently in the process of obtaining the necessary building permits, so a quick start is not expected at this time [2][3].
It's worth noting that a section between Netphen-Walpersdorf and an area behind the Kohlenmeilerplatz has already been renovated and reopened to traffic on August 19, 2025. The remaining sections will follow once the legal requirements have been addressed [2][3].
In summary, the start of construction for the remaining two sections towards Siegquelle has not been scheduled yet, as the legal procedures are still ongoing, and a quick start is not anticipated [2][3].
Contrary to some reports, these two additional construction sections are not part of the 5.5 million euros construction budget and are not located between Walpersdorf and the area behind Kohlenmeilerplatz [2][3]. The renovation of this section of the L719, which started in April 2024, is indeed a key transportation link connecting the Siegerland and Wittgenstein regions.
Work on the renovation of the L719 was temporarily paused last fall and winter and resumed in early April 2025. Interestingly, the announcement of the reopening of the L719 was made today by the Landesbetrieb Straßen NRW. The total construction costs for the renovation of the L719 amounted to approximately 5.5 million euros [2][3].
It's important to clarify that the full closure of the L719 due to the two additional construction sections has not been temporarily lifted. Furthermore, these two additional construction sections are not a key transportation link connecting the Siegerland and Wittgenstein regions at this time [2][3].
The L719 between Walpersdorf and the area behind Kohlenmeilerplatz in the Siegerland and Wittgenstein regions will reopen to traffic on August 19, 2025, but the two additional construction sections are not part of the initial reopening on this date [2][3]. The completion of the two additional construction sections is not earlier than initially planned.
The project was completed earlier than initially planned, but the timeline for the two additional sections remains uncertain, as the legal procedures are still ongoing. We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
Other industries may have differing procedures, but in the finance sector, such uncertainties in project timelines could potentially impact investment decisions. The progress of the remaining construction sections in the transportation industry, specifically the L719 towards Siegquelle, is not yet aligned with the Finance sector's preferred timeline for return on investment.
