Traffic chaos in Bachfeld: construction sites cause long traffic jams!
In the last few weeks, the construction site situation in Bachfeld and Steinheid has proven to be challenging. Although the construction work on the through-town road in Bachfeld is on schedule, the measures to secure the slopes in the Göritztal between Steinheid and Steinach will be more time-consuming than initially assumed. Several utility providers are involved in road construction in the region, so traffic opening can be expected by the end of the year. This information provides in southern Thuringia in his current report.
However, the construction sites also have their downsides: They significantly affect traffic on the state road between Steinheid and Göritzmühle near Steinach. This is particularly annoying because traffic in the Sonneberg district is already stagnating due to various other construction sites. The B 89 in Bachfeld is completely closed until December 31, 2025, requiring diversions via the L1112. These diversions bring additional chaos to the streets and burden residents.

In addition to the B 89, the L 1148 between Steinheid and the Göritzmühle junction is also closed until November 29, 2025. Drainage and asphalt work takes place here. And that's not all: the K 11 in Rauenstein is also completely closed until the end of the year, which doesn't make the situation on site any easier.

A look at the construction industry
But the projects are not only under pressure locally. The general order situation in the Thuringian construction industry developed negatively again in August 2025 Thuringia Construction Industry Association reported. There was a 26.6 percent decline in orders in road construction, while public construction fell by 27.5 percent. This also has an impact on the employment situation: 13,913 people worked in the Thuringian construction industry, which corresponds to a decline of 2.3 percent compared to the previous year.
Dr. Burkhard Siebert, managing director of the Hessen-Thüringen Construction Industry Association, urgently calls for reliable investments in infrastructure and simpler procurement procedures. “If we don’t act soon, we will fall even further behind,” he warns. The developments surrounding the road construction projects in Bachfeld and Steinheid already show how important a stable construction industry is for the local transport infrastructure.
