Traffic chaos around Bamberg: closures and diversions by 2025!

Traffic chaos around Bamberg: closures and diversions by 2025!

In the Bamberg area, the traffic situation remains tense. There are currently a variety of road construction sites that affect not only commuters, but also travelers. The expansion of the A3 on six traces between the Biebelried and Fürth/Erlangen motorway junctions is increasingly concrete, which is reflected in several full closures and diversions.

A crucial measure is the extension of the full closure for the municipal connection between Schlüstefeld and Burghaslach, which now remains until November 30, 2025. This block was originally imposed on April 14, 2023 due to security concerns and will remain necessary in the near future, since a bridge west of the key field junction had to be demolished and rebuilt in autumn 2023.

traffic restrictions on B22

Another annoyance is the traffic situation on the B22. There are restrictions due to a damaged bridge over the B505 that must be torn down. Commuters and drivers have to prepare for longer travel times while the construction work is progressing. In this context, a full closure of the B505 was also announced at the Pommersfelden junction, which has been in force since June 16, 2025. This measure is part of the comprehensive project to redesign the junction mentioned and the new building of the BW 357A underpass structure, which leads the B 505 under the A3. Merkur has published detailed information on the diversions that can play an important role in maintaining the traffic flows during this phase.

diversions and alternative routes

The diversions during the closures make sense to continue to steer traffic and avoid traffic jams. Drivers who are traveling towards Frankfurt can drive from the B505 to the A3, while the departure in Pommersfelden towards Nuremberg is not available during the closure. A redirection leads via the U99 demand redirection to get back towards Nuremberg. For travelers who want to go from Nuremberg to Bamberg, the departure at Höchstadt-Ost is a useful change option.
