District road between Krummenau and Weitersbach closed due to damage!

The district road between Krummenau and Weitersbach will be closed from now on! This decision was made by the district administration as the responsible traffic authority after serious road damage was found. According to a press release, traffic safety on this route is no longer available. The affected street is known under the names K 70, K 72 and K 69, whereby the centerpiece (K 72) runs through the district of Laufersweiler in the Rhein-Hunsrück-Kreis. Investigations on site by representatives of the Birkenfeld and Rhein-Hunsrück districts and the police inspection in Simmern have led to this drastic measure, since simple danger signs are no longer sufficient to ensure security. The next winter months in particular could further tighten the situation.

closure and diversions

The blocking concerns the entire motorized traffic, including cars, large-scale and heavy traffic, while agricultural and forestry vehicles are still allowed. Cyclists can use the route to behind the outskirts of Krummenau and Weitersbach, but have to accept a detour via non-asphalt forest paths. Traffic is mainly diverted on the state road (L) 190, which runs between Weitersbach and Krummenau. Due to a bridge closure on the L 190 (between Rhaunen and Krummenau), drivers must also plan a large -scale detour via the L 182 and K 73, which also complicates the situation.

like traffic situation.de , there are currently no additional reports on construction sites or danger types, which underlines the urgency of the blocking again. It remains to be seen how long the route remains closed due to the security deficiencies and whether the traffic situation in the region, especially in winter, will stabilize.
