Over 800 kilometers of roads run through our city. These 800 km of infrastructure must be constantly maintained - this includes cleaning, repairing damage and winter road maintenance. In addition, there are construction sites, e.g. bridge construction or third-party construction projects for new buildings and renovations.

Defect report
Is something missing? Is something broken or dirty? You can report concerns, problems and ideas to the City of Aachen quickly and easily via the defect reporter. Whether it's garbage, potholes, missing signage or your individual suggestion for our city - you can report everything online. Your suggestion will be received by the very people who will process it. You can also search for plans or find out about the processing status of a report.
Road planning and construction projects
We have compiled extensive information on all current and future construction sites (planning, political decisions, reason & goal, etc.). If you would like to find out more about the planning and implementation of roads, cycle paths and footpaths in Aachen, we recommend the film on the 2021 cycling decision.
Special use
Public road traffic areas include roads, parking lots, footpaths and pedestrian zones throughout the city. If you would like to use the public traffic area to erect a construction fence, container or similar for a limited period of time, an informal application stating the period, type of use and location and enclosing any site plans is sufficient.

City cleaning & winter services
Every week, around 850 kilometers of Aachen's roads have to be cleaned. But "cleaning" means much more than just sweeping the streets with a road sweeper.
