Construction work on A66: Transport chaos between Gelnhausen-West and East!

From March 31, 2025, extensive construction work begins on the A66 motorway between Gelnhausen-West and Gelnhausen-Ost. These measures are necessary to fundamentally renew the lanes and are expected to continue until September 27, 2025. The work should not only increase local traffic safety, but also to improve the infrastructure in the long term, such as reported.

As early as March 17, 2025, the traffic routing for this construction work will be set up, whereby in low -traffic night times with nighttime restrictions can be expected in both directions. However, all lanes should remain accessible during the day to maintain the flow of traffic.

construction phases and traffic impairments

The construction work is divided into two sections. The first section begins on March 31 and is expected to end on July 3, 2025. During this period, delay and acceleration strips will be renewed in the Gelnhausen-West and East junctions. This results in traffic restrictions.

The closures at the Gelnhausen-Ost junction are particularly critical: The entrance in the direction of Fulda will be blocked from April 7 to April 17, 2025, supplemented by a changeover of needs U33. The exit towards Fulda is also blocked between April 7 and 12, 2025, whereby diversions via U29 and alternatively be set up via U18 and U31, such as
autobahn.de point out.

In addition, the walking and cycle path underpasses as well as the parking with WC system Kinzigtal are closed during the first construction phase. The dates mentioned are temporary and can be subject to changes due to the weather. Autobahn GmbH therefore recommends pursuing traffic reports on radio to plan possible disorders and delays.

Additional information on diversions

For the closures and diversions, specific routes are set to minimize the effects on daily traffic. Vehicles that want to drive to the Junction Loyalty-Lowlessly can be diverted, for example, via the U29 (B457, L3333) requirements. Deadings via the U18 (AS Bad Orb/Wächtersbach) are available for destinations such as Biebergemünd and Flörsbachtal.

The local diversions are designed to maintain the flow of traffic in the best possible way and not to suspend excessive disorders. These measures are particularly important because the A66 is a central connection for commuters in the Rhine-Main area.

In summary, it can be said that the impending construction work on the A66 will bring significant changes for the traffic situation in the region. All road users are invited to find out more about possible detours and travel time extensions in good time in order to ensure a smooth passage.
