During the coming week (Monday 31st July – Friday 4th August, 2017) work will be taking place on underground utility pipes near the “Drei Hasen” bridge. The slip road connecting the Nassauer Straße with the Homburger Landstraße travelling towards Bommersheim will be closed during this time.
Traffic will be diverted along the Willy-Brandt-Straße and “An den Drei Hasen” back towards and then under the bridge.
The slip road in the other direction is not affected.
Re-surfacing work in the “An den Drei Hasen” area will mean that some roads will be partially or completely closed at times between Wednesday, 17th February and Friday, 19th February, 2016.
The roads affected are:
A number of rubbish bins, some of them containing paper rubbish, were set alight last week.
On the night of 5th August, 2013, several rubbish bins were set alight in “An den Drei Hasen” which caused damage to a neighbouring building.
In the early hours of Friday, 9th August, rubbish bins and a newspaper stand were set alight in the Hans-Mess-Straße in Oberstedten. Three fire engines attended and a small transporter was also damaged by the flames.
Witnesses are asked to call detectives in Bad Homburg on 06172 1200.
Only weeks before a number of other rubbish bins and the red telephone box in the Rushmoor Park had been set alight.
Despite warning signs advising of the 3.9m clearance under the bridge, a lorry from Essen in North Rhine-Westphalia with a higher trailer tried to pass under the bridge at the junction of the Homburger Landstraße and the Frankfurter Landstraße, in the area known as “An den Drei Hasen”, last Tuesday, 11th December, 2012.
The trailer was caught by the bridge, with the damage caused to the trailer itself estimated at €8,300.
It remains to be seen whether the bridge was damaged in any way.
