Complete closure of the A17: Tunnel near Dresden closed overnight from July 15th to 16th!
Traffic chaos around Dresden: On the night of July 15, 2025, to be precise from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on July 16, the A17 in the direction of Prague will be completely closed. The Dölzschen, Coschütz and Altfranken tunnels are affected, where urgent repair work needs to be carried out on the roadway. Of course, this is no fun for the commuters and travelers who travel on this important artery. As the Saxon reported, traffic will be routed via the signposted U16 diversion, which begins at the Dresden-Gorbitz junction and leads across the Dresden city area to the Dresden-Südvorstadt junction. There you have the option of rejoining the A17.
Keep in mind that this diversion could cost extra time during rush hour - so it's better to leave a little earlier! By the way: Only recently the tunnel chain on the A17 was closed due to technical problems with the power supply. This closure also affected the Coschütz, Dölzschen and Altfranken tunnels in both directions. Fortunately, the problem was quickly resolved Radio Dresden reported.
Important mobility data from the region
But why are such closures even necessary? Mobility data is crucial for the development and maintenance of our transport infrastructure. They provide support for public and private actors like that Research information system explained. Annual statistics, such as “Traffic in Numbers” published by the Federal Ministry of Transport, help to shed light on relevant topics such as transport infrastructure, traffic volume and emissions. This data is essential for investing in transport infrastructure and planning new solutions to make transport more efficient.
So let's take the upcoming closures of the A17 as an opportunity to think about the importance of a well-functioning transport infrastructure. Whether for daily commutes or long trips – good mobility is the basis for a dynamic city like Dresden. Plan your route in good time so that you can reach your destination in a relaxed manner! Whether for business or pleasure, everyone uses the road - and hopefully at some point we will all be on our usual routes again.
