Full closure: traffic madness due to bridge construction in Hockenheim!
From Thursday evening, the A6 at Hockenheim-Schwetzingen is on the test: Due to extensive bridge construction work for the new B39 bridge, the motorway will be completely closed until Tuesday morning, July 15th. This reveals the latest information from SWR , which title the step as "last big strength". Already on Thursday, July 10th, from 8 p.m., parts of the junctions will no longer be accessible.
The focus of the work is the reduction of scaffolding, the attachment of corrosion protection and the renovation of the lanes on the cloverleaf of the junction. These measures are carried out around the clock to ensure a quick completion. Road users in the direction of Heilbronn or Karlsruhe are led to the A5 from the Walldorfer Kreuz, while those who are traveling towards Palatinate or Saarland can head the Hockenheim triangle and switch to the A61.detours and traffic confusion
The Autobahn GmbH has announced extensive diversion measures. Special LED walers are attached to the Kreuz Walldorf and Kreuz Mannheim in order to guide the traffic in a large scale. There will also be diversions via B39 and B291. In view of the blocking, it is advisable to switch off navigation systems and use spacious diversions to avoid traffic jams, as is also recommended ADAC
Despite the large -scale diversions, the blocking could have a noticeable impact on traffic. The A6 is around 480 kilometers long and connects the French border near Saarbrücken with the Czech border near Waidhaus. The traffic chaos could be increased in particular by the diversion trips, which also causes difficulties in other regions.
urgent need for action in bridge construction
The need for such blocks makes it clear how extensive the need for renovation in German bridge construction is. Over 4,000 bridges in the motorway network are in need of renovation or have to be rebuilt. This means that since the first bridge summit, with the Federal Minister of Transport Dr. Volker Wissing targeted a number of 400 bridge construction projects per year, the criticism of inadequate means and delayed tenders becomes louder. The building associations, supported by BWVL , require additional financial resources of one billion euros annually to counteract an impending traffic collapse.
The upcoming restrictions on the A6 are not only a short-term problem, but part of a much greater topic that affects traffic and building policy in Germany. It remains to be hoped that the necessary measures will soon be taken to secure the transport infrastructure.
