Construction site alarm on the A8: Massive traffic jams between Burgau and Zusmarshausen!
Today, August 13, 2025, drivers on the A8 in Bavaria must expect significant traffic delays. According to News.de, a construction site will be set up in the area between Burgau and Zusmarshausen (places 69 to 70). This measure will result in a lane narrowing that will come into force from 8:00 p.m. and is expected to last until 12:30 a.m. the following day. The construction site extends over an impressive 12.2 kilometers, which could put a heavy strain on not only regional traffic, but also national traffic right at the beginning of the upcoming summer holidays.
An increased traffic flow is to be expected, especially during the holiday season South Germans reported. The small village of Frasdorf on the A8 is particularly in focus because the roads there only have two lanes without a hard shoulder. This increases traffic jams and has led many residents to call for bans on through traffic for some time. However, until now there was no legal basis to implement such measures.
News about the traffic situation
In order to get the situation under control, Ulrich Lange, Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Transport, has announced that the federal government will pay more attention to this problem. Autobahn GmbH will also react to construction work and plan measures such as setting up notice boards to inform road users in a timely manner. The district administrator of the Rosenheim district, Otto Lederer, and 15 mayors from the region have written an open letter to the Federal Ministry to express their concerns.
Daniel Mair, the mayor of Frasdorf, is also actively involved in addressing the concerns of local residents. He intends to take measures to close local roads to through traffic so that the quality of life locally does not suffer further. The mayor also calls for a comprehensive further development of the current legal situation.
Maintenance measures and construction measures in road traffic
As the Bavarian state government As stated, maintenance measures are essential to keep the road network in good condition. Where demand for roads becomes overwhelming, new construction and extensions are necessary. As of January 1, 2021, the federal Autobahn GmbH has assumed responsibility for construction sites on highways; this is intended to help minimize the disruption caused by construction sites as best as possible.
The coming days promise to be challenging, both for residents and road users. With increased traffic jams and the ongoing construction site, everyone in the region and travelers must plan their routes carefully to avoid unexpectedly getting stuck in traffic.
