A60 near Mainz: Full closure today for steel emergency solution-from Thursday again four-lane!

A60 near Mainz: Full closure today for steel emergency solution-from Thursday again four-lane!

The A60 at Mainz-Gonsenheim is currently causing traffic problems, and not without reason. Since October 10, the highway in this area has only been accessible in this area due to bridge damage. The good news: from Thursday evening, all four lanes should be released again. However, this presupposes that a temporary steel structure is installed in order to temporarily stabilize the bridge between the road and the transition.

In order to carry out this work, the A60 will be completely blocked until 8 p.m. on Thursday, from 8 a.m. Autobahn GmbH has clearly communicated that the damage to the transition is so serious that a simple repair would not be sufficient. This means that a completely new construction is required, which will take a few months.

provisional solutions to maintain traffic

In order to maintain the flow of traffic, a provisional steel structure is built. During the work that will be used throughout Thursday, Autobahn GmbH advises all drivers to avoid the area as far as possible. Despite the beginning of the autumn holidays, limited traffic conditions can be expected, which the situation is also complicated.

According to the temporary measures, all lanes should be accessible again from Thursday evening, but the speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour remains. A complete remedy of the problem is only to be expected in spring if the new transition from the road to the bridge is installed.

The traffic disruptions that have already been set up is also a partial closure on the A60 in Mainz-Finthen, which has been in effect since Thursday. With the blocking, the responsible authorities paid too much attention to the safety of the vehicle occupants after the damage to the transition between the road and the bridge was determined at the end of September.

To minimize the burden for this critical area, it has been decided to adapt the traffic situation on the highway accordingly. This not only includes the restriction of the lanes, but also a general reduction in speed on this section.

For those who regularly use the A60, it is important to adjust to the changes. With the expected restoration of the full lane capacity on Thursday evening, drivers can hope that the situation will soon be stabilizing. Information about the course of the work and possible further developments can be followed via official channels of Autobahn GmbH in order to always stay up to date.
