Kilometer traffic jams on the A8: Small truck fire ensures chaos!

Zweibrücken, Deutschland - On the A8 near Neunkirchen, considerable traffic problems are currently causing long traffic jams. The section between Oberstadt and Wellesweiler towards Zweibrücken is tight until the afternoon. As Tagesschau reports, drivers have to plan a waiting time of over an hour, since the traffic is weakened. The reason for the blocking is a burned -out small truck that transported flammable fabrics on Wednesday. As a result, the highway had to be temporarily blocked in both directions. While the direction of Saarlouis is now passable again, the other direction remains closed until 4 p.m.

In addition to the current disorders, Autobahn GmbH plans extensive renovation work on the A8 between Wellesweiler and Neunkirchen-Oberstadt.

As Rheinpfalz , the Upper City junction is also repaired from Monday to Saturday. In order to control the traffic loads during this time, detours are set up and a construction site lamp is set up to avoid backlog
