Rehabilitation work on the highway

Meanwhile, the Wörth a.d.Donau/Wiesent motorway junction is also affected at the same time. The renovation work will begin on September 19th to September 21st, in the direction of Passau. In the direction of Nuremberg, the work will take place from October 10th to October 12th, 2025. During this time, the junction will be completely closed to traffic.

The measures include milling away the old asphalt layers and replacing them with new surface and binder layers. However, traffic on state road ST2146 will remain maintained during the renovation. However, it is not possible to enter the motorway in closed directions.

Detours and safety precautions

To avoid long waiting times and traffic jams, there are sophisticated diversions:

• Für Fahrtrichtung Passau: Abfahrt an Anschlussstelle Rosenhof, Bedarfsumleitung U69 und U71 bis Kirchroth.
• Für Auffahrt Passau: Abfahrt an Anschlussstelle Wörth a.d.Donau/Wiesent in Fahrtrichtung Nürnberg, Wenden an Anschlussstelle Rosenhof.
• Für Fahrtrichtung Nürnberg: Abfahrt an Anschlussstelle Kirchroth, Bedarfsumleitung U30 und U32 bis Rosenhof.
• Für Auffahrt Nürnberg: Abfahrt an Anschlussstelle Wörth a.d.Donau/Wiesent in Fahrtrichtung Passau, Wenden an Anschlussstelle Kirchroth.

Please also note the speed limit on the A3 motorway in the construction zone: a reduced speed of 100 km/h applies here to protect all road users.

The importance of water infrastructure cannot be overemphasized. Water infrastructure systems are critical to the provision, treatment and distribution of drinking water. Not only do they guarantee continuous access to clean water, but they also minimize the environmental impact of wastewater. Planning and maintaining these systems is important to ensure public health and the security of water resources for future generations. Renowned institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute are continually working to make these systems so resilient that they can withstand the challenges of climate change report on it.

So if you want to explore the area by car or on foot in the next few days, you should be prepared for some changes. This makes it all the more important to pass on this information and prepare for closures and diversions in good time.

For the latest updates and possible changes, it is best to regularly check the city's official pages, such as the City of Worth and the Highway for current traffic reports.
