Torgau am traffic chaos: Construction sites lead to traffic jams over 26 minutes!

Torgau, Deutschland - For a few weeks now, the traffic Situation in Torgau has developed into a real challenge. Several construction projects ensure considerable disabilities and longer travel times in the urban area. The affected areas are not only the well -known main artery, but also extend over different streets in the urban area. The intersection area Eilenburger Straße/Friedrich-Naumann-Straße (B87/B182/B183) is badly affected, as is the East-West-Tangente and Warschauer Straße (B182) reports the Torgauer Zeitung .

The effects of the construction sites are drastically noticeable for the Torgauer and commuters. A test on travel time showed that even short distances take a long time. For example, a driver needed over 26 minutes for the route from the Fischerdörfchen to the Eilenburger Straße railway overpass - despite several stops and slow zones. From June 30th, the situation will continue to be complicated if a new construction site in the youth street also affects the traffic flows. A 150-year-old gray cast pipe is renewed over a distance of 250 meters contains the website of the city of Torgau .

new construction sites and diversions

The construction work is carried out by Ezel Bau GmbH and Schulz Bau GmbH and should continue for the entire July. Drivers have to be prepared for full closures that considerably restrict resident traffic and the use of property access. The detour towards Leipzig takes place via Elbstraße, Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz, Wolffersdorffstraße and Dr.-Külz-Ufer for the Eilenburg intersection. In the direction of Elbbrücke, the detour leads across the street of the youth, Promenade and Fischerstraße. Delays from eight to ten minutes are particularly expected on the route Nordstraße, Döbernsche Straße to Puschkinstraße adds the traffic information page .

Not only drivers are stuck in traffic - cyclists are also not spared the traffic impairments. That is why there are always recommendations to leave the car standing and switch to the bike. But the bike paths are not always spared from the construction sites, so it is advisable to keep an eye on the current situation.

Current traffic situation in Torgau

The situation also brought a little light into the dark, because some traffic disruptions have now been lifted. Enjoyable news comes from the direction of B87 Herzberg (Elster), where an earlier traffic disability between Schliebener Straße and Wilhelm-Pieck-Ring was removed. There are also positive changes on other routes, for example, the report about a traffic disability between Döbrichau and Fermerswalde on June 17, 2025 was canceled, so that drivers can draw new hope reports the traffic website .

Those who drive through Torgau today should be well prepared and possibly switch to alternative means of transport. No matter whether on foot, by bike or car - Plan B has never hurt!
