Traffic chaos in Saxony: motorway closures from July 7, 2025!

From Monday, July 7, 2025, there will be significant traffic disruptions on various motorways in Saxony. The reason for this is extensive construction work announced by Autobahn GmbH. The measures specifically affect the A4, A17 and A72 in connection with the A38.
From Monday morning, drivers will have to prepare for diversions and restrictions, especially on the A17.

On theA17The departure will be at the Dresden-Gorbitz junction in the direction of Prague from July 7th to 8th closed between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The reason is necessary signage work. Drivers coming from Dresden and wanting to go to Prague must therefore be redirected back via the Dresden-Südvorstadt junction.

Maintenance work on the A4

Also on theA4Disabilities are to be expected. Here you drive between the Chemnitz-Mitte and Limbach-Oberfrohna junctions in the direction of Chemnitz from July 7th to 11th At night traffic is reduced to one lane. These measures are necessary to repair the roadway. During the day, traffic will be routed past the construction site in the remaining lane.

In addition, from July 7th to September 13th there will be a lane narrowing between the Bautzen-Ost junction and the Löbauer Wasser rest area in the direction of Görlitz. Here too, traffic will be routed past the construction site in two lanes.

Detours and other construction sites

Another significant cut is on theA72as well as theA38planned at the Leipzig-Süd motorway junction. The crossing from the A72 to the A38 in the direction of Dresden is from July 5th to August 23rd blocked. Drivers must expect single-lane traffic and corresponding detours.

Current information on the traffic situation in Saxony is available via various information systems. The Construction site information systems provide daily updated data about diversions and construction sites on all important roads so that drivers can plan as best as possible.
