Description

A connecting road is to be built between Nievergoltstraße (K 1) and the B 47 neu. It is part of the outer ring road in Worms, which is to connect the B 47 new with the B 9 by bypassing the city centre.
Four variants were designed for the route, taking into account the connection to the suburbs of Leiselheim and Pfiffligheim as well as existing pedestrian and bicycle traffic connections.
In principle, all 4 variants offer the possibility of providing an overpass or subway in the area of the crossing of the DB line. While an overpass structure, including the ramps, would have a considerable negative impact on the landscape, the subway structure within the relatively open natural space is considered to be the more landscape-compatible solution.
To the west of the village of Leiselheim, the new line crosses the floodplain of the Pfimm stream. Planned flood protection measures of the city of Worms have been integrated into the planning. The road embankment of the outer ring between Schlittweg and the connection to Landgrafenstraße also serves as a flood protection embankment. The new flood barrier was designed for a 100-year flood event.
According to the noise study, active noise protection measures are planned in the area of Leiselheim and Pfiffligheim. Noise barriers with a height of 2.00 m to 3.50 m are planned, which will be landscaped. In the area of the connections to the existing Winzerstraße and Alzeyer Straße, passive noise protection measures on buildings are required.
