Blocking and disorders: traffic chaos on Dresden motorways!

Blocking and disorders: traffic chaos on Dresden motorways!

In the early morning hours of the coming Tuesday, the driveway of the Dresden-Südvorstadt junction will be temporarily closed in the direction of Prague. The reason for this is necessary work on electrical overhead lines that require complete decommissioning for the entire Tuesday, June 17th. This blocking is expected to impair the flow of traffic, since diversions have to be set up that drivers around the affected area. In addition, restrictions on the access and departure area of the junction to the B170 are also expected, such as [MDR] (https://www.mdr.de/nachrichten/sachsen/dresden-radebeul/autobahn-prag-verfahr-verfahrungen-100~AMML) reported.

If that wasn't enough, complete traffic stops are planned on Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. So it is worth rethinking the route or, if necessary, starting earlier to minimize waiting times. Commuters in particular should keep an eye on traffic during this time.

Current traffic situation in Saxony

Current traffic warning messages show that there are always disturbances and accidents in Saxony. Today, on June 16, 2025, the police Saxony reports of several impairments on the motorways. An accident site was cleared on the A4 between Chemnitz and Dresden, and there was also traffic jams on the A17 towards Prague due to an accident. However, most hazard reports, such as the incident on the A14 between Nossen and Leipzig, have now been invalidated, so that there is free travel again.

Not only accidents cause traffic problems. Unpleasant surprises are currently to be expected on the B6 between Bennewitz and Wurzen, because larger animals, especially horses, have been spotted on the road. Drivers should exercise special caution here and, if necessary, drive more slowly.

long -term construction sites and their effects

In addition to acute traffic disorders, there are also numerous construction sites that have restrictions for a long time. On the A4 in the direction of Chemnitz between the Dreieck Dresden-West and the Dresden Tor north rest area, the left lane will be closed until July 22, 2025. In addition, construction sites are active on various points on the A72 and A17, which will provide additional traffic restrictions, as the Transport statistics Saxony summarized.

• A4 Prague towards Chemnitz: construction site, left lane blocked until July 22nd, 2025
• A17 Dresden towards Prague: Construction site, right lanes blocked until 19.06.2025
• B101 Priestewitzer Straße: full closure until 31.12.2025

With the constant input through the permanent counting points mentioned here in the Free State of Saxony, a precise picture of traffic flows is created. This is important to plan future measures to improve the transport infrastructure and to identify potential bottlenecks.

The current reports illustrate how important it is to take a look at the traffic situation before you start your way. Users of the motorways and federal roads in Saxony should therefore inform themselves in good time and, if necessary, plan their routes to avoid unnecessary stress and long waiting times.
