Complete closure of the main street in Schwarza: three weeks of construction work!
An extensive construction site will soon be underway in the idyllic community of Schwarza in Thuringia. From October 20, 2025, the main road (L 1121) will be completely closed for an expected three weeks District Office announced. The road construction work is necessary to improve the condition of the infrastructure as part of the “Bubental” project. These measures are part of the ongoing renovation work on German roads, which became particularly urgent after the collapse of the Carola Bridge in Dresden in 2024.
The construction work will be accompanied by large-scale diversions, which will be signposted in good time. If you want to cross the region during this time, you should be prepared to use alternative routes. Visitors can access real-time information about traffic flow and any disruptions on the platform ADAC Maps which provides comprehensive data on current construction sites and traffic situations in Germany and neighboring holiday destinations.
The condition of the roads in Germany
But what is behind these road construction projects? Reality shows that many transport routes in Germany are in need of renovation. According to the Statista German road construction is the most important civil engineering sector, with sales increasing to over 14 billion euros last year. This takes place in the context of a federal government that has put together a restructuring package of around 500 billion euros to improve the infrastructure.
Despite these high investments in German highways - in 2024 these amounted to around 8.8 billion euros - the expansion of the highways is stagnating. Since 1995, only around 2,000 kilometers have been added, which makes many drivers dissatisfied. A survey from 2025 shows that more than half of those surveyed are dissatisfied with the condition of the roads in Germany. Potholes, cracks in the asphalt and uneven road surfaces are often the cause of trouble.
The upcoming road construction work in Schwarza is a small but important part of the comprehensive effort to improve the infrastructure in Germany. It remains to be hoped that these developments will not only make traffic safer, but also make everyday life easier for residents in the region. When it's finished, we'll all be able to cruise through the streets unhindered again, and maybe there'll be a big inauguration party! Until then, however: keep your eyes open in traffic and have a safe journey via the detours!
