Traffic chaos in Meißen: commuters fight against endless traffic jams!

The traffic chaos on the streets around Meißen and Dresden caused major delays on Tuesday. A commuter reported how she barely from Meißen to Dresden progenankam, even though she had driven off earlier. The reason for the tough travel times was a giant congestion on the B6, which pulled in both directions and continued until the evening. The streets in the city area of Dresden, such as the old town, Niederauer Straße and Talstrasse, were particularly affected. On the Meißner Elbbrücken, the backlog also literally reached to the traffic light on the old town bridge. The Meißner Verkehrsgesellschaft also reported considerable delays in bus traffic, another sign of the catastrophic traffic Situation

.

The situation escalated on Tuesday morning due to two accidents that occurred on the A4 at the Dresden Tor rest area. At 6:20 a.m. there was a rear -end collision of a truck on a vice in front, which led to the blocking of two lanes. The highway had to be completely closed in the opposite direction after two vans collided. The location on state road 81 from Dresden to Weinböhla was correspondingly chaotic, where numerous trucks with a serious load tried to avoid the traffic jam on the highway, but got stalling themselves. Due to the bypass, trucks had already turned from the A4 at the Dresden Airport departure and continued at walking pace, which further tightened the traffic situation.
