Traffic chaos in Meißen: Commuters fight against endless traffic jams!
Traffic chaos in Dresden: Long traffic jams caused by accidents on the A4 affect commuters and city traffic on June 17th, 2025.
Traffic chaos in Meißen: Commuters fight against endless traffic jams!
The traffic chaos on the roads around Meißen and Dresden caused major delays on Tuesday. A commuter reported how she barely made any progress from Meißen to Dresden, even though she had left earlier. The reason for the slow journey times was a huge traffic jam on the B6 that stretched in both directions and lasted until the evening hours. The streets in the city of Dresden, such as the old town, Niederauer Straße and Talstraße, were particularly affected. The backlog on the Meissen Elbe bridges literally stretched all the way to the traffic lights at the Old Town Bridge. The Meißner Verkehrsgesellschaft also reported significant delays in bus services, another sign of the catastrophic traffic situation
.
The situation escalated on Tuesday morning due to two accidents that occurred on the A4 near the Dresdner Tor service area. At 6:20 a.m., a truck collided with a truck in front, which resulted in two lanes being closed. In the opposite direction, the motorway had to be completely closed after two vans collided. The situation on state highway 81 from Dresden to Weinböhla was correspondingly chaotic, where numerous trucks with heavy loads tried to avoid the traffic jam on the highway, but got stuck themselves in the process. Due to the bypass, trucks had already turned off the A4 at the Dresden Airport exit and continued to drive at walking pace, which further aggravated the traffic situation.
Current traffic jam information
The A4, which runs from the Dutch border at Vetschau to the Polish border at Görlitz, is the fourth longest motorway in Germany with a total length of 583 km and is part of the European transport artery E40. Due to the constant traffic density and the large number of construction sites, it is prone to traffic jams. Recently, traffic disruptions due to unsecured accident sites and cleaning work were reported again. However, drivers can refer to the websites of verkehrsinformation.de as well as staumelder-24.de provide real-time information about current traffic.
Whether by car or public transport, no commuter can ignore the traffic conditions in and around Meißen at the moment. The only hope seems to be that the situation will improve significantly by the evening to provide relief for the affected drivers.
