Traffic chaos in Zwickau: Crimmitschauer Straße closed for months!

in Zwickau there are currently troubled times for drivers on Crimmitschauer Strasse. Since July 14, 2025, the traffic conditions at the central intersection of Crimmitschauer Straße/Werdauer Straße/Humboldtstraße have faltered, such as the Press reported. The city has blocked the intersection in two sections to carry out urgently required construction work.

In the first section, which will last until the end of August, Crimmitschauer Straße is affected between Werdau and Moritzstrasse. This is followed by the second section, where the Werdauer Straße to Bahnhofstrasse in Humboldtstrasse is also closed for about eight weeks. These measures are part of a comprehensive plan to modernize the transport infrastructure and at the same time avoid longer construction sites and additional closures, according to the information of the City of Zwickau .

extensive improvements are on

The planned work is versatile and include the renewal of water, sewage and power lines. The barrier-free expansion of the intersection, which takes place in cooperation with guidelines from the state company Mobility Rhineland-Palatinate, is particularly remarkable. New surface coverings and soil indicators for blind and visually impaired people are used here to improve accessibility. State Secretary for Transport Andy Becht emphasizes how important barrier -free access to public transport spaces is for the participation of all people.

The Crimmitschauer and Werdauer Straße remain accessible, but with restrictions. Pedestrians can use the sidewalks and the signaled pedestrian crossings are also in operation, which makes access to everyone easier. In the second section, Humboldtstraße is completely blocked, with the walkway being preserved at the old people's home.

• renewal of the drinking water pipe (approx. 82 m)
• barrier -free conversion of the crossing points and traffic islands
• renovation of the asphalt covering

employees of the Signaltechnik Roßberg company have already taken night shifts to drive the work ahead. The replacement traffic of tram line 4 is also diverted, which also affects the traffic volume. The Schumannstraße stop is moved to the Ring coffee stop for the duration of the construction work, while the Georgenplatz stop is moved to Moritzstrasse.

quick remedy for commuters

The city of Zwickau has clearly signposted the diversions in order to offer drivers on Crimmitschauer Straße the best possible orientation. But the traffic load does not fail to do: Many drivers use illegal abbreviations to meander through the traffic jam, which also complicates the situation.

The completion of the extensive construction work at the intersection is planned for November 2025. It remains to be seen how the new measures will affect the flow of traffic and whether the upcoming changes can actually make a noticeable improvement. For many commuters and residents it is clear: there are many hopes for the upcoming changes!

In all of these developments, it is important that the city regularly informs residents and commuters about the progress of the work and can be reached if you have any questions or concerns.
