Current construction phases on the A71

In addition to the maintenance work, there are several construction phases on Autobahn 71, which will last until July 21, 2025. These affect not only the connection between Sangerhausen and Erfurt, but also other sections that have so far extended over a total length of 4.87 km as part of these large -scale measures. Germany-navigator has published the details of the various construction phases.

• construction phase between Sangerhausen and Erfurt : period from May 19 to July 21, 2025.
• Maximum passage widths : vary between 3.5 m and 4 m, which is particularly relevant for larger vehicles.
• Special speed limits : A maximum speed of 80 km/h is prescribed in certain sections.

These construction measures are part of a comprehensive plan that aims to improve security and traffic quality on the highway in the long term. However, drivers should prepare for delays and, if necessary, consider alternative routes.

In the next few days, there could be considerable traffic disruptions due to these maintenance work and the parallel construction phases. A good hand in the route choice is required here so that the way to the goal does not become an adventure.
