Traffic disruptions on the A3: construction sites in sight until November 13th!
In the region around Cologne, drivers must prepare for significant traffic disruptions until November 13, 2025. A construction site has been set up on the A3, more precisely near Oberhaid in Rhineland-Palatinate, since November 1, 2025. This work, which will last until November 13th, affects a 4.28 kilometer long section in the direction of AD Dernbach and requires all road users to exercise caution. The maximum speed has been reduced to 100 km/h so that traffic remains as fluid as possible despite the renovation work. In addition, heavy goods are only allowed to pass through with a width of up to 11.25 meters [news.de]. reported.
But that's not the only construction site that could cause traffic jams. Today, November 11th, 2025, there will also be disruptions in Mogendorf, another section of the A3. The work will begin here today at 8:00 p.m. and will last until the following morning, 5:00 a.m. In this short section of 0.99 km there is a speed limit of 80 km/h and the passage width for heavy goods transport is very limited at 5 meters.

With a total length of 769 km, the A3 is the second longest motorway in Germany and crosses various federal states. The section between Cologne-Heumar and Cologne-East is particularly busy with over 171,000 vehicles every day. The forecast expansion and renovation work on bridges and roadways by 2030 will also influence the traffic situation [news.de]. notes.
For anyone who relies on the motorway, it is advisable to consider alternative routes and pay attention to the current traffic situation. Stay patient and safe on the roads!
