A66 closure: traffic jams and diversions in Wiesbaden from Thursday!

The A66 near Wiesbaden becomes a scene of traffic chaos! From Thursday, November 14th, at 9:00 a.m., the motorway between Frauenstein and the Schiersteiner Kreuz will be closed to construction work. This measure lasts until Friday evening, November 15th. The reason for the blocking is urgently needed work on the lane ceiling and the exchange of damaged concrete slabs that had already caused problems on November 6th.

The city of Wiesbaden warns of massive traffic jams! The traffic towards Frankfurt is directed via a detour route, which leads back to the A66 via Schierstein and the Appelallee junction. The city expects a sudden increase in traffic, especially on the detour route. Drivers are urgently asked to bypass the area and to avoid journeys during rush hour traffic.

alternative routes and recommendations

For travelers from Untertaunus there is a recommended detour via Schlangenbad and Georgenborn towards Frankfurt. Rheingauer can also use this route or alternatively get to the A66 via the B260. Drivers who want to go to Mainz have the opportunity to use the Rhine ferries near Rüdesheim and Oestrich-Winkel to switch to the other side of the Rhine. Autobahn GmbH advises to follow the traffic news carefully and to plan more travel time to avoid possible delays.
