Railway Overpass in Moosach Scheduled to Open for Traffic in Late 2026

Munich — Given the strained budgetary situation in the Bavarian capital and the upcoming municipal elections on March 8, 2026, the Moosach district committee currently sees no room for new large-scale projects. According to Chairman Wolfgang Kuhn, the primary focus is on continuing and finalizing existing initiatives.

Railway Overpass: The Central Focus of 2026

The reconstruction of the railway overpass on Dachauer Straße remains the most critical project. After two years of intensive construction, the site is expected to be fully reopened to traffic in late 2026.

To maintain the schedule, a complete closure of the road is necessary from January 7 to March 2, 2026. While this places a significant burden on residents due to extensive detours, authorities emphasize that completing this phase is essential. Recent progress involved specialized industrial divers who cleared silt from the groundwater-filled excavation pit to allow for necessary concrete work.

Road Repairs Postponed to Avoid Gridlock

To minimize the risk of total traffic paralysis, the district committee has decided to avoid additional roadworks until the overpass is ready. This decision comes despite the recognized need for renovations on Allacher Straße, Baldurstraße, and Untermenzinger Straße, which will now wait until at least 2027.

The committee also highlighted the future of St.-Martins-Platz in Moosach. The vacant area near the subway station is to be permanently designated for a cultural and community center. This move aims to secure a long-term venue for local traditions, such as the Maypole festival, and other cultural needs.

New Secondary School Set to Open for 2026/27 Academic Year

Education is also a key theme for the coming year. The new Realschule (secondary school) on Franz-Mader-Straße is scheduled to open its doors for the 2026/27 school year.

As a temporary measure, it will house the Rudolf Diesel Realschule from Neuhausen. The district committee has voiced its support for this arrangement while stressing the need for safe school routes for the arriving students. Furthermore, Chairman Kuhn expressed concern regarding potential funding cuts for social institutions, noting that neighborhood centers are vital meeting points, particularly for the elderly.Source: tz
