Wilsdruff: A4 junction opens again after months of construction work!

A welcome turnaround for drivers in the Wilsdruff region: the A4 slip road towards Chemnitz is finally being opened to traffic again after months of construction work. From 8 p.m. on Tuesday evening you can drive through here again, as the State Office for Road Construction and Transport recently announced. This represents a significant relief for commuters and businesses who have been forced to take long detours in recent months as the ramp was extensively rebuilt.

Construction work and improvements

The construction work on the junction included converting the exit over a length of around 180 meters, with two lanes available in the future to avoid traffic jams on the motorway. In addition, a new traffic light system was installed at the intersection with the S177. But that's just the beginning: parallel to this work, the S177 will be expanded to a length of around 900 meters and a cycle path will be created. These extensive measures have a total cost of around 18.6 million euros, of which the Free State of Saxony is contributing 11.2 million euros lasuv.sachsen.de reported.

The renovation work is currently underway in several phases. While the driveway has now been reopened, further construction work is continuing on a 300 meter long section between the junction and the motorway bridge. Here, temporary lanes ensure that traffic can continue to flow despite the construction work. To ensure road safety, a temporary speed limit of 30 km/h applies. However, it should be noted that traffic restrictions are to be expected in the future as a full closure of the junction to motorway vehicles will be required if construction work continues. This is necessary to ensure the safety of road users during these extensive construction projects, as well saechsische.de notes.
