Attention drivers: A8 weekend closure between Mühlhausen and Merklingen!

In the coming days, drivers in the region must be prepared for a diversion. The A8 motorway will be closed from Friday evening to Monday morning due to necessary maintenance work. The announced full closure concerns the section between Mühlhausen in the Täle, in the Göppingen district, and Merklingen, which is located in the Alb-Donau district. This measure was considered essential by Autobahn GmbH to carry out essential work in the tunnel, to renew the lane ceiling and to remove slope trees on the alb ascent.

The block begins on Friday at 8 p.m. and will continue until Monday at 5 a.m. Those responsible at Autobahn GmbH are striving to carry out the work in a time window that has as little influence on rush hour. Therefore, the choice fell on the weekend for these extensive maintenance work.

detour instructions for drivers

The attention of drivers is particularly drawn to the official diversions. It is recommended to switch off the navigation systems and to follow the signposted detour routes, such as the U29. This strategy is intended to avoid traffic jams on so -called sneak paths and at the same time relieve smaller communities of excessive traffic. The traffic authorities emphasize the importance of using the signposted routes to ensure a smooth bypass of the construction site.

There are additional information for long -distance transport. Travelers who are on the A8 towards Munich can alternatively dodge via the A6 and A7 motorways to avoid the area of the construction site. Under the given circumstances, this is a recommended option to minimize the travel time and possible delays.

The work on the A8 is important before the upcoming winter, since a safe and well -maintained highway is particularly important for road users in the cold season. The responsible bodies have emphasized that these measures aim to increase traffic safety and at the same time to secure the lifespan of the infrastructural components in the long term.
