Traffic chaos in Vilshofen: B8 closed from today due to accident!
There may be significant traffic restrictions in and around Vilshofen an der Donau today, June 15, 2025. From 11:35 p.m. until probably 3:35 a.m. the next morning, the B8 between Plattling and Passau will be closed in both directions. The reason for this is an accident in which emergency vehicles are in use, like [News.de reported](https://www.news.de/auto/858700441/verkehrsmelde-vilshofen-an-der-donau-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-unfall-von- 15-06-2025-to-16-06-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-danger-of-congestion-in-vilshofen-an-der-Donau-zip-code-94474-seestetten-auf-b8/1/). Drivers are urged to avoid the area as far as possible to avoid lengthy traffic jams.
The affected route is an approximately 3.6 kilometer long section between the Gaisbruck exit and Passau. It is estimated that traffic will be slow due to the closure. The Bavarian Traffic Management Central Office has provided the latest information and monitored the situation.
Traffic situation on the surrounding streets
In addition to the restrictions on the B8, other roads in the area are also under special observation. There is good news on the A3: an earlier closure between Kreuz Deggendorf and Hengersberg has been lifted. All restrictions have now also been removed in the direction of Passau, as Stau.info reports.
However, road users can continue to be more vigilant, especially since the A3 near Vilshofen is currently affected by other reports. Nevertheless, the current statistics from Destatis show that general road safety is constantly improving. Nevertheless, traffic often remains the same challenge, especially in headwater areas like Vilshofen.
Recording accidents is crucial in order to develop targeted measures in politics, on the roads and in vehicle technology. Statistics on accidents help to analyze accidents and counteract possible risks.
The situation around Vilshofen therefore remains tense and we recommend that all drivers follow both the news and the traffic displays carefully in order to reach their destination safely and safely.
