Traffic disorder on the Mainz ring: tunnel blocked and barrier damaged

traffic disruptions through tunnel blocking

On Wednesday, July 10, 2024, an incident occurred at 2:58 p.m., which led to a blocking of the Hechtsheim tunnel on the BAB 60 motorway in both directions. This measure led to traffic disruptions in the entire Mainz ring.

tunnel barriers prevent further journey

After a false alarm was found and released by the Mainz fire brigade and the Heidesheim motorway master, the tunnel could be reopened at 3:46 p.m. During the blocking, the tunnel barriers closed automatically to prevent the continued or passage of road users.

calls for witnesses after damage to the barrier

Unfortunately, Bingen's direction occurred in the direction of travel, in which a saddle tractor damaged the right -sided barrier. The semitrailer collapsed with the closing barrier, damaged it and then left the scene of the accident unauthorized. Witnesses who can provide information about the vehicle are asked to contact the Heidesheim police motorway station.
