Teilortsumgehung Weilburg, Bypass structure in Weilburg, Germany.
The Teilortsumgehung Weilburg is a bypass route with a bridge over the Lahn River and a tunnel through the Mühlberg hill, directing traffic flow around the old town. The system connects different city districts and allows vehicles to avoid the center.
Planning for this bypass began in the 1960s to relieve the overloaded old town. The project was completed in the early 2000s and permanently changed how traffic flows through the city.
The place reflects the town's wish to protect its historic center while meeting modern traffic needs. Visitors can see today how new infrastructure has been integrated into the existing townscape.
The bypass is well signposted and has several entry points from different parts of town. If you want to explore the old town, it is best to find parking there since the bypass is only meant for through traffic.
The tunnel under Mühlberg hill was built using special techniques to avoid damaging nearby protected buildings. This underground solution made it possible to preserve the town's historic appearance.
