Full closure of the A66 on the Schiersteiner Kreuz: patience is required!

Full closure of the A66 on the Schiersteiner Kreuz: patience is required!

drivers in the area of Wiesbaden have to prepare for considerable delays on Wednesday. Due to the necessary construction work, the A66 on the Schiersteiner Kreuz is fully blocked, which may lead to an increase in traffic on the detour routes. Those affected should therefore calculate more time than usual.

The Autobahn GmbH explained that a lowered concrete slab was the cause of the blocking. This measure is crucial to ensure the safety of the drivers and to avoid possible further damage. The full closure is scheduled for the period from 9 a.m. to the late evening.

traffic load on the Schiersteiner Kreuz

The Schiersteiner Kreuz is an important traffic junction that around 123,000 vehicles pass every day. The temporary closure will therefore most likely have a significant impact on the flow of traffic. During this time, the environment could be heavily burdened, also due to the autumn holidays in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate.

road users are diverted via the Wiesbaden-Dotzheim junction to get towards the city center and then drive back towards Mainz or Rüdesheim. However, Autobahn GmbH left open that traffic disorders can occur, and recommends that the drivers consider alternative routes.

In the past, there have been similar incidents when the A66 also had to be fully blocked after a landslide on the Salzbachtal Bridge. Such events illustrate the challenges with which the traffic authorities are confronted to keep the infrastructure safe and functional. In this sense, the current blocking is a necessary, albeit unacceptable measure to ensure traffic safety.

If you are planning to drive in the region on Wednesday, you should definitely find out more in good time and, if necessary, adapt your travel plans so as not to get into traffic jams. For detailed information on this topic, See the report on www.fnp.de .
