Stau-chaos on the A81: Fire and accidents paralyze traffic today!
Mundelsheim, Deutschland - On Tuesday morning, June 17, 2025, traffic on the A81 between Stuttgart and Heilbronn experienced a real chaos. While the drivers wanted to make their way through Mundelsheim, several problems caused considerable traffic jams on the busy highway. The traffic situation was tense at the beginning of the day, since a burning vehicle in the Engelberg tunnel caused excitement the evening before and practiced many drivers.
The section between Pleidelsheim and Mundelsheim was particularly affected in the direction of Heilbronn, where the cars lined up in endless snakes. There were also delays in the area of the Engelberg tunnel. A breakdown truck blocked the delay strip between the Leonberg-Ost exit and the Leonberg triangle, which turned out to be a further burden for travelers until soon towed.
