Vehicular flow disruptions - Complete shutdown of a section of the A7 highway: Demolition of a bridge segment

Because a bridge part blew up, the A7 motorway in Unterfranken will be closed in both directions at Werneck on Thursday starting from 8:30 am. This is impacting the segment between the Schweinfurt/Werneck interchange and the Gramschatzer Wald junction, as a representative for Autobahn GmbH stated. It is anticipated that traffic will be able to travel on this section around 9:30 am. In the meantime, there will be a detour.

The explosion at the Stettbach valley bridge is causing the roadway to be fractured as part of the renovation process. The area surrounding the explosion will be guarded off and made secure by police and firefighters within a 300-meter radius.

The approximately 240-meter-long bridge from 1966 is being revamped until the summer of 2025. Initially, the route leading to Würzburg was refurbished from autumn 2021. Now it's the path leading to Fulda's turn. The expenses associated with the construction amount to 27 million euros.
