Beware, drivers! A71 block for maintenance work from Friday!

Today is an exciting, albeit a somewhat cumbersome day for drivers on Autobahn 71. From 7 p.m., the Rennststeigtunnel in the direction of Schweinfurt will be closed due to necessary maintenance work. This was announced by Autobahn GmbH Ost in Erfurt and also affects the old castle tunnel. By this time, previous work has already taken place in the tunnels to prepare everything for the upcoming maintenance work, such as Insuedthueringen.de

The planned closures are not only an issue today. In the coming week there will be traffic restrictions on the A71 at Suhl, such as tag24.de . This will lead to temporary closures in the Rennsteigtunnel from Tuesday to Wednesday and Thursday. These sections, which are located between the Gräfenroda and Oberhof departures, are closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Of course, diversions are signposted so that travelers can achieve their goal during this time.

The details of the work

It is particularly striking that the racing tunnel with its proud 7916 meters is the longest street tunnel in Germany. This makes the maintenance work of particular importance in order to continue to ensure the safety of road users on the A71. The old castle tunnel is also included in the work. The closures are not only a nuisance for commuters and travelers, but also an important measure for maintenance and security of the infrastructure.

If you plan to travel, you can find out about the current traffic situation on autobahn.de . The interactive dashboard there offers an overview of the traffic situation, indicates traffic jams and construction sites and enables drivers to react quickly to unpredictable disorders. Monitoring through the motorway traffic centers ensures that all information is processed quickly, while well-coordinated strategies of action enable a rapid reaction to all possible traffic disorders.

Overall, it is important to prepare well for the coming days of the week and to plan any detours. Certainly it will require patience from one or the other driver, but security is going on.
