Construction site chaos on the A70: full closures in Kulmbach and Scheßlitz!

Construction site chaos on the A70: full closures in Kulmbach and Scheßlitz!

The traffic load on the A70 motorway will increase noticeably in December 2025 - at least for drivers who want to use the Kulmbach/Neudrossenfeld and Scheßlitz junctions. The reason is urgently needed repair work that the federal Autobahn GmbH is carrying out. It's worth taking a look at the upcoming closures to avoid unpleasant surprises.

As early as December 1st at 7 a.m., the Kulmbach/Neudrossenfeld junction in the direction of Bayreuth will be completely closed. This measure lasts until December 2nd, around 8 p.m. During this time, traffic will be redirected via the Thurnau-Ost junction. The construction site aims to increase safety and predictability for road users, according to the Kulmbach district office.

More closures in sight

After the closure in Neudrossenfeld, the Scheßlitz junction will also be closed from December 4th at 7 a.m. until December 5th at around 12 p.m. Here the diversion takes place via the Roßdorf am Berg junction. Autobahn GmbH asks all road users to observe the diversions and instructions on site and to exercise increased caution in the construction site area.

These measures are part of a comprehensive program to maintain the nationwide motorway network, which has to bear heavy loads. The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure provides clear guidelines for planning construction sites in order to optimize processes both economically and organizationally. The focus is on maintaining the smooth flow of traffic as best as possible despite necessary repairs.

For those affected, this means that they can expect significant traffic disruptions in the first week of December. Autobahn GmbH has announced that it will provide current information about construction sites and projects on its website. Those interested can find the latest data and regulations that apply to uniform construction site management throughout Germany.

The measures in the region are necessary to ensure the safety of drivers and to sustainably improve the quality of traffic routes. So, dear readers: keep an eye on the coming days and plan your trips accordingly! Don't forget to pay attention to the current information and drive calmly.
