Traffic chaos in Neustadt: A73 closure expected until September!

Traffic chaos in Neustadt: A73 closure expected until September!

Road users around the Neustadt bei Coburg junction will now have to prepare for some changes. As of June 30, 2025, the junction in the direction of Suhl has been reopened to traffic, while traffic in the direction of Nuremberg remains closed. These restrictions are part of the B4's comprehensive remediation measures, which began on June 2, 2025 and are expected to last until July 25, 2025. The work is being carried out by the Bamberg State Building Authority and is aimed at improving the infrastructure in the region, reports the Wiesentbote.

The entire construction site is part of a larger renovation project, which will also see traffic flow redirected in the coming weeks. Road users who want to get on the A73 in the direction of Nuremberg are asked to follow the detour via the A73 in the direction of Suhl to the Coburg junction. For everyone else, traffic will be diverted from the Ebersdorf junction near Coburg on a large scale. Motorists are directed from Ebersdorf towards Neustadt near Coburg and Sonneberg, as Northern Bavaria also reports.

Detours and precautions

In order to keep the effects of the closure as low as possible, it is recommended to exercise increased caution in the construction site areas. The diversion routes in particular can lead to increased traffic volumes. Since no diversion is possible via the Rödental junction due to the renovation of Neustädter Straße in Dörfles-Esbach, patience is required when traveling in this direction.

Residents and commuters are particularly affected as the work will take a long time and both motorway traffic and traffic on the B4 will be affected. The B4 will remain completely closed during the renovation, which means that diversions will be necessary here too. It is expected that the extensive work will not only improve safety, but also improve long-term transport connections in the region.

It is important to mention that all construction work also pays attention to modern traffic routing. The State Building Authority strives to keep the disruption to users as low as possible so that these renovations are handled responsibly. In the coming weeks, all road users will be able to closely monitor the changes and the resulting diversions in order to be well informed when traveling.

How the construction work progresses and what further measures are planned remains exciting. So stay tuned and keep yourself regularly informed about all developments.
