New traffic routing on the Bayreuth high bridge: diversion from today!
From October 27, 2025, there will be single-lane traffic on the high bridge in Bayreuth in the direction of Bindlach. This measure will remain in place until the new ramp structure is put into operation, planned for the end of November bayreuther-tagblatt.de reported. Drivers traveling into the city must prepare for detours. The signposted diversion route leads via Bindlacher Allee, Bindlacher Straße and Weiher Straße to the St. Georgen West industrial area.
The need for these diversions and the single-lane traffic routing arise from the reconstruction of the high bridge, which is intended to contribute to improving the traffic infrastructure on the B2. The aim of the new ramp structure is to use traffic at the Bayreuth Nord junction more efficiently, reduce traffic jams and increase traffic safety. As preparations progress, road users are asked to follow detours to avoid traffic jams and ensure safety in the construction area.
Current situation and outlook
The high bridge in Bayreuth is also in the context of larger infrastructural measures that are currently pending. Loud courier.de The bridge is currently the subject of a comprehensive inspection. A planning approval decision for the new building is still pending while we wait for the end of the process. The head of the Bayreuth branch of Autobahn GmbH Nordbayern, Thomas Pfeifer, states that measures worth around 130 million euros are planned for 2023, but the construction of the new high bridge is not on this list.
The ongoing inspection of the bridge shows that there have been no significant improvements since the last inspection. There are also plans to lay a high-pressure gas pipeline, which is nearing completion. Such measures are in line with a larger bridge modernization program in Germany, which aims to adapt to increased requirements in terms of load-bearing capacity and traffic safety, such as bmv.de described.
Strategic support and financial resources
The extensive program to modernize the bridges is necessary because most of the structures were built between 1960 and 1985. Old existing infrastructure often poses a threat to traffic, and age-related wear and tear requires targeted investments. The aim of these programs is not only to maintain but also to improve maintenance and modernization measures to ensure the safety of all road users.
The bridge modernization network that is part of this effort covers approximately 7,000 kilometers and aims to ensure efficient transport infrastructure. The various road construction authorities in the states work closely together to ensure the effective implementation of the measures, which is important for the Bayreuth region.
