Construction site chaos in Dresden: traffic disruptions from June 30th!

Pieschen, Deutschland - The Dresden road traffic faces a few challenges: From Monday, June 30th, the tram line towards Kaditz will be interrupted due to urgent work. This construction work comprises the renewal of 830 meters of worn out tracks and combined orders at the ElbePark stop. The Dresden Verkehrsbetriebe (DVB) invests around 1.75 million euros from their budget for ongoing maintenance for this comprehensive work. Pieschen Aktuell reports of the diversions that are necessary due to these construction measures.

Lines 9 and 13 will be massively affected. While line 9 only drove from the center towards Micken, line 13 already ended in Micked. For passengers of lines 9 and 13, replacement traffic between Mickten and Riegelplatz in Kaditz is set up. The replacement buses will be departed in Mickten at the stop of line 4. Drivers: Inside should also be careful; The Pieschener Straße in the south is closed until July 4th. The replacement buses must be diverted via Lommatzscher Straße, and the stops at the Elbe Park and Washingtonstrasse are moved to the tram for lines 64, 70, 72, 80 and the replacement traffic.

traffic impairments and other construction sites

In the vicinity of the Elbe Park, it is tight for drivers: in the inside because they sometimes only have one lane available. In addition, the Kötzschenbroder Straße at the Watzke ball house remains closed due to construction work on an industrial water pipe through Saxony-Energy. Restrictions can also be expected on Mohnstrasse from Monday, June 30th, and there will only be limited passability between Bürgerstrasse and Leipziger Strasse. These construction sites are to be completed by July 18, while those on Kötzschenbroder Straße end until July 4th. Construction and delays are therefore inevitable. Tag24 emphasizes that it is always necessary to do such work on the road and rail network.

On the motorways around Dresden, construction sites must also be taken into account. The A4 in the direction of Dresden lists several barriers, including lane narrowing between Dreieck Nossen and Dreieck Dresden-West until December 20, 2025. On the A17 towards Prague there are also construction sites between Dresden-Südvorstadt and Tunnel Coschütz, which only exist from July 1 to July 2, but can also cause delays. Verkehrslage.de informs about these bottlenecks and recommends to inquire about the traffic situation at an early stage.

The rush to the streets does not become less due to the different construction sites. A good tip for all drivers: Inside, it is proactively informing yourself about the construction sites and diversions in order to escape the stress of rush hour traffic. Significant delays can occur, especially during the rush periods, that can be avoided.
