Traffic chaos in Radien: A71 closed due to construction site!
In Bavaria, more precisely on the A71, drivers are faced with a challenge today. From 3:52 p.m. the route between Strahlen (zip code 97618) and the Bad Neustadt a.d. exits will be closed. Saale and Münnerstadt closed for several hours due to construction work. The work extends over around 499 meters and is expected to last until 9 p.m., which could not only lead to increased traffic but also possible traffic jams, such as news.de reported.
In order to control traffic and keep the impact of the construction site as low as possible, Autobahn GmbH uses modern working methods. These are intended to help minimize disruption for motorway users. At the same time, this ensures that the infrastructure in Bavaria will continue to meet the requirements of transport demand in the future, explains stmb.bayern.de.
Current construction site information
In this context, it is not just the construction site on the A71 that should receive attention. There are currently restrictions on other sections of the highway. For example, maintenance work is underway between the Suhl triangle and Suhl/Zella-Mehlis, which will lead to closures on Mondays and Tuesdays from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. There are similar restrictions on the route from Erfurt to Schweinfurt, where the route is closed for maintenance work on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, according to the website verkehrslage.de reported.
Need for maintenance and new construction work
The reasons for these many construction sites are varied, but one thing is certain: maintenance measures are essential to keep the road network in good condition. When traffic volumes increase, new construction and expansion measures are often necessary in order to meet the capacity limits of existing roads. This is done in coordination with the federal Autobahn GmbH, which has been responsible for construction sites on German highways since January 1, 2021.
So use the diversion signs available to travel unhindered in the region and be warned: the volume of traffic today could be higher than usual. It's worth planning in advance!
