Traffic disruption on the A8 highway near Pforzheim due to thermal damage, causing closure yesterday evening.
The A8 highway near Pforzheim is set for a significant disruption this week, as essential repairs to the road surface are scheduled to take place from Thursday 7 PM until Friday 6 AM.
The closure, initially announced for the aforementioned timeframe, may now extend into the night due to the extent of the repairs. As a result, drivers are advised to prepare for potential delays and heavy traffic on alternative routes.
The A8 will be completely closed from Pforzheim-Nord, with traffic being diverted onto local roads and the B10 as primary alternatives. For shorter sections, regional roads connecting neighbouring towns such as Neuenbürg or Mühlacker could be used to detour around the closure.
However, the most accurate and updated detour instructions can be found on local authority or traffic information services' websites, such as ADAC or state transport websites. It is strongly recommended to check these sources before setting out on Thursday evening.
The closure is expected to cause significant disruptions to traffic on the A8, with the right lane on the highway already closed for approximately 50 meters due to heat damage since midday today.
In light of these developments, drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible. If traveling on the A8 near Pforzheim on Thursday evening, be prepared for disruptions and additional delays due to the repairs.
Stay informed and safe on the roads, and we hope for a swift resolution to these repairs, ensuring the smooth flow of traffic once more on the A8 highway near Pforzheim.
Drivers may need to adjust their lifestyle and travel plans due to the extended closure of the A8 highway near Pforzheim, induced by the weather-related repair works.
