Large exercise on the Tunnel Berg Bock: Dangerous goods accident is simulated!

A dramatic scenario will be reality on Saturday afternoon on the 71 Autobahn! The Tunnel Berg Bock is completely blocked for a large -scale fire brigade exercise. Marco Gottschalk from the Suhl professional fire brigade announced that a serious accident will be simulated for the first time with a dangerous goods transporter. An event that puts the nerves of the emergency services to the test!

Although trucks with dangerous goods in the tunnel chain are actually prohibited on the A 71, many drivers ignore this rule and continue their risky journeys. The fire brigade motivated this on this important exercise in order to be prepared for a possible emergency. Around 250 firefighters, including numerous volunteers, will take part in this exercise and demonstrate their skills.

traffic disruptions and diversions

The blocking of the tunnel will have a significant impact on traffic. Drivers have to adjust to diversions while the fire brigade does their exercises. The good news: The tunnel should be released for traffic again around 7 p.m. An exciting afternoon for the fire brigade and an important preparation for possible emergencies!
