Overview
- Autobahn GmbH confirmed a full closure of the A99 between Munich-Ost and Munich-Süd for 57 hours from 20 November 2026 at 20:00 to 23 November 2026 at 05:00 to demolish and replace the B304 overpass, with no single detour able to carry all displaced traffic.
- Local councils and planners moved a major scheme forward in Oberschleißheim where the municipal council approved plans to lower the B471 into a 4.7‑metre deep trog, a project that will need plan approval, federal funding, and an expected three‑year construction period.
- Shorter, safety-driven closures are active now: the A72 will have nightly full closures through 31 October for overhead-line work and Dresden’s Freiberger Straße is closed for a likely three to four weeks while a leaking district‑heating pipe is replaced.
- Cities announced longer closures for repairs that affect daily life: Leipzig will fully close a pedestrian bridge for about six months from April 2027 with renovation costs of roughly €1.63 million, and Berlin’s Schönhauser Allee U‑bahn bridge will undergo preparatory works from November into March 2027 that narrow lanes and close a northern station entrance.
- Residents and drivers face growing disruption and frustration because inspections reveal corrosion, water ingress, or pipe failures, responsibility for repairs is split across agencies, and temporary measures such as signed detours, temporary bridges, speed limits, or route changes will shift congestion onto surrounding roads.
