Full closure of the A6 near Schwabach: Bridge construction work in August

important infrastructure work on the A6 in Franconia

The A6 will become an important part of regional infrastructure measures in the Nuremberg metropolitan region in the coming weeks. In August there is a night closure on two weekends, which is necessary due to bridge construction work. These measures are crucial for the improvement of the traffic connections between Neuendettelsau and Schwabach-West.

Details for blocking and relief strategies

On Saturday, August 10, 2024, the first night closure begins at 8 p.m. and ends on Sunday morning, around 6 a.m. A second full closure is planned for August 17, 2024, here too the closure begins at 10 p.m. and ends on Sunday at 6 a.m. All traffic is redirected to ensure that the work runs smoothly.

The importance of work for the region

These construction measures are not only important for the safety of drivers, but also of great importance for improving the infrastructure in the region. The bridge construction work is necessary because three transfer buildings on field and forest paths have currently been demolished. This means that important transport connections between Lanzendorf-Art, Veitsaurach-Dechendorf and Haag-Unterreichenbach are temporarily not usable. However, the installation of new bridge elements is expected that these connections will be restored by the end of 2024.

diversions and traffic routing

For the safety of road users, the upcoming closures are already pointed out. S signs that inform about the traffic situation were set up on the surrounding motorways A3, A7 and A9. In the nearby area of the A6, traffic is diverted via the Schwabach-West (No. 55) junction and the Neuendettelsau junction (No. 54). The opposite direction is also derived accordingly. The federal government's branch of Autobahn GmbH of the federal government appeals to all road users to drive particularly carefully in these areas.

outlook on the expansion of the A6

The current work on the A6 are part of a more comprehensive expansion that extends over several years. The progress of these measures is crucial for improving the traffic situation and will continue to be observed in the coming months. The expansion of the A6 is a important project that not only strengthens the infrastructure, but also contributes to economic development in the region.
