Until the end of September 2025, the Saxony State Dam Authority is renovating the dyke on a stretch of 1.3 kilometres between Promnitz and Bobersen. The reason for the construction work is numerous flood damages, especially on the embankments, which were caused by the three floods in 2002, 2006 and 2013. The height differences will be adjusted to the neighbouring dyke sections and a dyke embrasure will be dismantled.
During the construction work, the Elbe cycle path will be diverted and run parallel to the B96 and through Bobersen. We ask for your understanding. As the construction work progresses, the original route of the Elbe cycle path from Elbwiesenstraße will be restored.
