Full closure of the A17: Dresden-Gorbitz tunnel chain to Dresden-Südvorstadt for construction work
Effects of the full closure on the A17
an upcoming construction work is expected to lead to considerable traffic disruptions on the A17. Between the Dresden-Gorbitz and Dresden-Südvorstadt junction, the tunnel chain will be fully blocked for five days. The blocking extends from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and affects both directional lanes.
The blocking was set to carry out building work that is urgently needed. This can lead to delays and detours for the affected road users.
During the blocking, the entrances to the Dresden-Südvorstadt junction in the direction of Dresden and the Dresden-Gorbitz junction will also be blocked in the direction of Prague.
In order to smooth traffic, corresponding diversions are set up. Road users in the direction of Prague use the need for needs via the Dresden-Gorbitz junction, while road users should use the Dresden Requirement Distribution U 16 via the Dresden-Südvorstadt junction.
It is important that road users follow the signs and follow the instructions of the road traffic services to avoid delays and traffic jams.
The complete blocking of the A17 for construction work is part of the continuous efforts of the Autobahn GmbH of the federal government to maintain the infrastructure and ensure that all motorways are in good condition.
road users should adjust to possible delays and plan accordingly in order to arrive at the destination in good time.
If there are any questions or further information, the communication team of Autobahn GmbH is happy to provide the federal government.
Best regards from Halle sends
