Above Heilbronner Straße, there were a number of damaged and unsafe trees on several private properties. One tree had even fallen into the road in this area. "As we can hardly expect the private owners of the properties directly bordering the road to carry out the necessary maintenance work, but at the same time have to ensure road safety, we have coordinated a joint operation," explains Georg Hüeber, tree expert at the Roads Department. "The cordoning off alone would have been much more expensive and complicated than doing everything in one go. By sharing the costs between all the owners involved, we were also able to find an economical solution."
In addition to a felling excavator and several chainsaws, a large crane was also used to remove entire trees from the impassable terrain.
"Thanks to the excellent cooperation between the contracted company and our colleagues, as well as the efforts of the Ludwigsburg road maintenance department to close the road and divert traffic, the work was completed within a day and the road was reopened to traffic in the evening," said Hüeber happily.
The necessary pruning of shrubs and trees along the road network can be completed by the end of February.
