Overview
- Transport authorities confirmed a full A99 closure for the weekend of 20 November 20:00 to 23 November 05:00 to remove a deteriorated bridge at Haar, and they warn of massive traffic across Munich and surrounding counties.
- Hamburg will face simultaneous major operations from 20 to 24 November, including a full A7/Elbtunnel shutdown and heavy works at Berliner Tor that will close key roads and some S‑ and regional rail links with published diversion plans.
- Deutsche Bahn has already shut the Nuremberg–Ingolstadt high‑speed line for renewal from 30 October to 12 December and will close Gemünden–Aschaffenburg from 9 November to 12 December, with many ICE services rerouted via Augsburg/Donauwörth and replacement buses for regional services.
- Local road projects are producing extended disruptions: Staatsstraße 2018 between Buch and Illertissen has a postponed reopening now targeted for about 11 November because of drainage defects, and Mühlhausen’s town thoroughfare is delayed until the end of April 2027 after unexpected underground utility work.
- Authorities are using staged diversions, replacement bus services and long‑range signage and they urge drivers to avoid affected corridors, use public transport and keep emergency routes clear because extra traffic on secondary roads could slow travel and stress adjacent infrastructure.
