Applying for the relocation or modification of telecommunications lines in traffic routes

Service Description

If you are the owner or operator of public telecommunications networks or telecommunications lines serving public purposes and wish to lay or modify telecommunications lines in public roads, you require the written or electronic consent of the carrier of the road construction obligation. You can submit an application in written or electronic form before the construction work is carried out.

The application must contain the following information

  • the specific location of the pipe laying, in particular which road and road components are affected (stating the network node and kilometer)
  • type of installation
  • Laying depth

If you have submitted a complete application and the road construction authority approves the relocation or modification after examining the application documents, it will issue its approval by means of a notice. In the course of this, you are obliged to bear the administrative costs.

Under certain conditions, approval is deemed to have been granted after a period of 3 months following receipt of the complete application. In the case of only minor construction measures that are reported in full to the road construction authority, approval is deemed to have been granted if the road construction authority does not request that a corresponding application be submitted within 1 month.

Process flow

  • As the owner or operator of public telecommunications networks or telecommunications lines serving public purposes, you apply for approval to lay cables in the public road, submitting complete application documents.
  • The public highway authority examines the application and, if necessary, grants approval subject to conditions and instructions by means of a decision in accordance with the Telecommunications Act (TKG).
  • Under certain circumstances, an on-site meeting is required before the decision is issued.
  • Under certain circumstances, a fictitious approval may also apply, i.e. approval is deemed to have been granted after a period of 3 months.
  • The applicant is obliged to bear the administrative costs.
