A98 full closure: How to avoid the traffic jam near Lauchringen!

Lauchringen, Deutschland - drivers pay attention! A traffic chaos threatens on the A98, because Autobahn GmbH has announced that the route between Lauchringen and Tiengen-Ost is completely blocked for urgent repair work. The construction work begins on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, at 9 a.m. and should be completed by Friday, November 15, 2024, at 2 p.m. During this time, the highway is closed in both directions. A detour is set up via the B314 and L163/Lauchringen, such as the Waldshut reported.

The Autobahn GmbH has not spared any effort to ensure that the work is carried out quickly and efficiently. But for the commuters, this means that they have to adjust to longer travel times and possible traffic jams. The full closure concerns an important traffic artery in the region, and the diversion could become a needle, especially during peak times.

why the block?

The repair work is necessary to ensure safety and driving comfort on the A98. The road has suffered considerably in recent years and the repairs are essential to avoid major damage and associated dangers. The work includes the renewal of the lane ceiling and smaller repairs to the infrastructure.

The decision to completely block the motorway was made to carry out the construction work faster and more safely. A partial blocking would have delayed the work considerably and endangered the safety of the workers.

What does that mean for the commuters?

For the commuters in the region, this means that they have to adjust to an alternative route. The detour via the B314 and L163/Lauchringen is set up, but it is recommended to plan more time for the trip. The Hochrhein-Zeitung indicates that Autobahn GmbH of the Federation, Südwest branch, Freiburg branch, is available for further information.

The residents and regular users of the A98 hope that the work will be completed according to the plan in order to release the traffic again as soon as possible. Until then, there is only to keep patience and use the diversion.
