A66 near Wiesbaden: Slope for road damage threatens!

A dramatic incident on the A66 near Wiesbaden ensures massive traffic disruptions! After the sudden break of two concrete slabs, the highway on the Schiersteiner Kreuz can only be driven onto Frankfurt. Autobahn GmbH has now announced that the route will have to be completely blocked for two days in the coming week to repair the damage.

The renovation work begins on Thursday, November 14th, at 9 a.m. and last until Friday evening. Traffic is diverted via Wiesbaden-Schierstein, the Söhnleinstraße, Reichsapfelstraße and Rheingaustraße are affected. From there, traffic is led back to the A66 via the Wiesbaden-Räppelallee junction. Drivers should prepare for significant delays!

cause of the damage

The Autobahn GmbH said that the damage is due to “old -age weakness” because the concrete slabs affected date from 1966. These outdated materials have now led to a dangerous condition that requires immediate measures. The right lane has been closed since Wednesday evening and the situation could continue to tighten if the repairs are not carried out quickly.

The A66 is an important traffic artery and the closure will affect many commuters and travelers. Hold ready for diversions and plan your trips accordingly!
