Nights of full closure: B 470 at Höchstadt-Ost affected in June!

In the coming days, drivers will have to expect restrictions on the federal road 470 at Höchstadt-Ost. From Friday, June 13th to Monday, June 16, the B 470 will be fully closed during the nights from around 10 p.m. to 4.30 a.m. This measure is necessary to renew the northern partial structure of an underpass of the A3 as part of the six -lane expansion. The dismantling of the old building is now on the agenda, while the southern sub -building has already been completed. The work was announced by [Nürnberger Nachrichten] (https://www.nn.de/erlangen/nachtliche-spernung-der-b-bau-bau-weit-zur-a-a-a--ba-hochstadt-juni--juni--juni--juni--juni--juni--juni--juni--juni--juni. Fortunately, there is no impact on the traffic of the A3 motorway itself during this full closure. For road users from Forchheim in the direction of Würzburg and for those from Höchstadt towards Nuremberg, the entrances to the A3 remain without restriction. Drivers from Forchheim, who want to go to Nuremberg in the direction of Höchstadt or A3, have to take a detour via Neuhaus and Buch to Gremsdorf.

diversions and traffic routing

The diversion routes are clearly signposted: road users from Forchheim must first drive via the book and Neuhaus to Adelsdorf if they want to go to Höchstadt or in the direction of A3. Drivers coming from Würzburg must also expect detours if they want to go to Forchheim. These diversions are intended to ensure that the traffic can flow as smoothly as possible despite the construction work. A3 Nordbayern GmbH asks for understanding for the restrictions and calls on all road users for special caution in the construction site area.

The current construction work is part of the larger project to the six -lane expansion of the A3 between the Biebelried and Fürth/Erlangen motorway junctions, which also includes the new construction of the BW 360e underpass structure. [Administrative Community Hessdorf] (https://www.vg-hessdorf.de/aktuelles/2025-03/vollsperrung-b470-autobahn-a3-anlagtstelle-hoechstadt- OST-24-03-2025) states that the construction of the directional lane to Nürnberg is already widely completed should. The next step includes dismantling the scaffolding of the building caps and bridge tests.

Current construction projects in the region

construction work currently seems to be a big topic, not only on the B 470 near Höchstadt. A new clamping concrete bridge is currently being built on the A7 between Langenschwarz and Wehrda near Bad Hersfeld, which is to meet the increased transport requirements. This new bridge is designed for a lifespan of 100 years and is built in the cycle procedure. However, the costs of originally 26 million euros are increasing to an estimated 41 million euros, which shows that there is a lot in motion in the building.

In this case too, residents have to prepare for changes in traffic. So if you have been struggling with your trips to the many construction sites in the area, you will soon be able to look forward to a clear improvement in road conditions - when the construction work has finally been completed.
