Complete closure of the B299 north of Amberg: diversions cause chaos!
Inevitably, the B299 is currently a topic of conversation in the region around Amberg. The important federal highway north of Amberg has been completely closed since August 1, 2025 due to extensive road renovations. The construction work is scheduled to last until August 20th and will cost over 2 million euros. The aim of the measures is to improve traffic safety and the condition of the road, which is being renovated over 3.2 kilometers. Upper Palatinate Echo reports that the affected section runs between Ammersricht and Ursulapoppenricht.
Road users who regularly use this section are particularly affected. Diversion options have been put in place to keep restrictions as low as possible. The diversion leads via Hirschauer Straße to the B14 and back to the B299 near Gibbach, with road users being guided accordingly in both directions. Central Bavarian points out that traffic from Hahnbach is also affected, which is also being redirected via state road 2120 to the B299 to Gibbach.
Restrictions and impacts on traffic
The Amberg-Sulzbach state building authority recommends avoiding the entire area to avoid delays. The construction work is divided into two phases; The second section, which covers the area between the junction of State Road 2120 and Ursulapoppenricht, is expected to begin on August 21st. This phased approach is intended to ensure that the construction site progresses efficiently and quickly. Upper Palatinate Echo highlights the importance of following diversion signage instructions to ensure safety for all road users.
For all those who are dependent on the road during this time, it is important to plan with patience and time buffers. Traffic jams and delays should be planned for as traffic disruptions will also be felt beyond the construction site. Comprehensive information about the current traffic flow is provided, for example ADAC Maps, which provides real-time data and future traffic forecasts.
In summary, the full closure of the B299 is an important measure to improve road conditions, but drivers still have to be prepared for some difficulties. The safety of the construction workers and the timely completion of the work are at the top of the priority list.
