Closure of the A8: construction site between Mühlhausen and Merklingen!
In a recent announcement, Autobahn GmbH announced a significant traffic closure of the A8 in the direction of Munich. This will come into force between Mühlhausen im Täle and Merklingen from Friday, October 31st, 9:00 p.m. to Monday, November 3rd, 5:00 a.m. During this time, the opposite direction to Stuttgart and Karlsruhe remains accessible without restrictions. Drivers should prepare for diversions and plan their routes now to avoid possible loss of time. The regional diversions take place from the Wendlingen junction via the B313 and B10 to the Ulm-West junction in the direction of Munich.
In addition, a local diversion is offered from the Mühlhausen junction via the B466 and B10, as well as to Merklingen via the L1230. Autobahn GmbH urges all drivers not to use closed routes and to switch off navigation systems in order to prevent traffic jams in towns. Road users are well advised to check the situation on the A8 in advance and, if necessary, choose alternative routes to ensure a smooth journey. This is not only a personal relief, but also helps to improve the traffic situation in the region.
Current traffic situation
Road safety always has to do with the infrastructure. Autobahn GmbH sees itself as responsible for keeping the roads in perfect condition. Their tasks therefore include regular assessment of the condition of road surfaces, as well as carrying out safety audits and checking bridges. Considering how many people use the motorway every day, it is essential to keep an eye on the safety and functionality of the traffic routes. New technologies to improve traffic management therefore benefit road users and support reliable planning.
Overall, it is clear that traffic monitoring and infrastructure are inextricably linked. Autobahn GmbH has set itself ambitious goals to sustainably increase safety on our roads. Not only structural measures are taken, but also preventive programs to educate drivers and ensure safe traffic management. This ensures that everyone traveling on the highways reaches their destination safely.
