Autumn Holiday Getaway Meets A8 Shutdown and Berlin Interchange Works

Officials steer traffic to planned detours, restricting shortcut exits to protect local roads.

Overview

  • From Friday 21:00 to Monday 05:00, the A8 Albaufstieg toward Munich is fully closed between Mühlhausen im Täle and Merklingen, with Autobahn GmbH directing long‑distance traffic via the A6/A7 and urging drivers to avoid local backroads and disable navigation rerouting.
  • ADAC expects heavy congestion at the start of Bavaria’s school break, especially around Munich and Nuremberg and on routes south, with further delays likely on the Brenner corridor where the Luegbrücke is down to one lane and additional works are in place in Austria and Italy.
  • Rosenheim and Berchtesgadener Land are enforcing weekend and holiday Durchfahrtsverbote at multiple A8 and A93 exits, with police turning transit drivers back to the autobahn, while Ostallgäu plans a trial and Miesbach is examining similar restrictions.
  • Munich Airport projects roughly 1.2 million passengers and about 8,300 movements over the period, with around 128,000 travelers on Friday, and Nuremberg Airport forecasts about 140,000 passengers and up to 950 flights.
  • A 79‑hour partial closure at Berlin’s Autobahndreieck Funkturm for a Ringbahn bridge project runs until Monday morning with signed diversions, and northern routes face added pressure from Hamburg’s A7 works, Elbtunnel lane limits, and inner‑city closures.
