Overview
- Google Maps incorrectly marked four Thuringian autobahn tunnels, including Rennsteigtunnel and Jagdbergtunnel, as closed despite being open.
- Authorities, including Autobahn GmbH and Thuringia police, confirmed there were no closures, traffic disruptions, or delays in the affected tunnels.
- The false information led to unnecessary detours for drivers before being corrected by Google later in the day.
- Google attributed the error to its reliance on multiple data sources and encouraged users to report inaccuracies via the app’s feedback function.
- The tunnels are now accurately displayed as open on Google Maps, with normal routing restored for all affected routes.
