Transport chaos in Gunzenhausen: Nürnberger Straße closed until June 27th!

From today, June 16, 2025, road users in Gunzenhausen have to adapt to considerable restrictions on Nuremberg Straße (Staatsstraße 2222). The road renewal, which is planned on a distance of 203 meters, will completely block the road by June 27, 2025, 6:00 p.m. How News.de reports, the blocking can lead to increased traffic loads and possibly also traffic jams, especially during rush hour.

The diversion routes are well signposted and lead via the B 466, B 13, Unterasbach, Dornhausen, Theilenhofen, Stopfenheim, B 2, as well as again to St 2222 to Thannhausen and Rehenbühl. The industrial area in the north remains available via the B 466, while the services of the BRK and the company Sar from south via Nuremberg Straße (ST 2222) can be reached.

construction work and their backgrounds

These construction measures are part of a larger project that started on May 5, 2025 and comprises a total of three sections with a total length of 800 meters. According to Staatsbauamt Bavaria , the diversion signage has been set up since May 1, 2025 and the construction work is expected to be completed by July 9, 2025. The first section ranges from the B 466 to the confluence of the petrol station and is to be completed by the end of May 2025.

The need for this extensive roadway renewal moves from previous provisional repairs, which had to be carried out by a softened surface due to road damage. The complete renewal should ensure a sustainable improvement in the traffic situation.

A look at the effects

In the conversations with the city and the residents, the focus is on keeping the effects on through traffic and business as low as possible. All businesses remain on one side, which is an essential measure to cushion the economic consequences of the construction site. The total cost of the measure amounts to around 1.2 million euros and also include improvements in the confluence as well as crossing points for cyclists and pedestrians.

During the construction period, the bike path via the bike path next to the Altmühl overseur and the underpass at the end of Industriestraße remains accessible. The hiking car park at the Altmühl overseer, however, remains closed until further notice.

In any case, you should adjust to the diversions for the next few weeks and plan enough time - because there is something!
