Be careful on Basteistrasse: 61-year-old falls on a Pedelec!

Today, June 30, 2025, the traffic situation in Saxony remains tense, as various construction sites and accidents are causing a lot of disruption on the roads. In this context, the current police and traffic reports are particularly informative. There was an incident on Sunday evening in which a 61-year-old Pedelec rider fell on Basteistrasse in Lohmen while she was traveling towards Pirna. Fortunately, she only sustained minor injuries, which can be seen as a positive thing considering the fall Sächsische reported.

But that's not all. Both individual traffic and the various construction sites shape the picture on Saxony's roads. The Saxony Police has issued a number of traffic warnings for today. In detail: On the A4 towards Erfurt, the right lane at the transition to the A72 will be closed until 3:00 p.m. due to a daily construction site. The A4 towards Dresden also has its pitfalls - for example, between the Am Wacheberg rest area and Bautzen-Ost there is a traveling construction site that will last until July 11th.

Traffic disruptions and construction sites in Saxony

Anyone who ventures onto the roads should be prepared for longer journey times. There are currently several significant construction sites that are not making the traffic situation any easier. Among other things, there is a traffic jam on the A72 between Hartenstein and Zwickau-Ost due to an accident, while on the A17 between the Altfranken tunnel and Dresden-Südvorstadt there will be a lane narrowing from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from tomorrow. There are also restrictions with regard to the B87 - work on the Zeppelin Bridge will take place here until December 2026, which will also affect traffic.

It is advisable for commuters and travelers to keep an eye on the traffic situation. Thanks to the construction site information system in Saxony, current information can always be accessed. It provides an overview of all relevant construction sites and diversions and helps to choose the best route. What is particularly important is that the accuracy of the information is the responsibility of the local transport authorities, so constant feedback is essential.

In conclusion, it can be summarized that summer is a travel time for many, but the construction sites and traffic in Saxony require special attention. Safety on the roads should be a priority, even though detours often require patience.
