Saarbrücken: Traffic catastrophe! Johannisbrücke closed until February 12th!

Saarbrücken: Traffic catastrophe! Johannisbrücke closed until February 12th!

In Saarbrücken, the Johannisbrücke is currently the focus of traffic measures. From Monday, February 10, 2025, the bridge will be completely blocked by Thursday, February 12, 2025, to carry out comprehensive building basic investigations. This reports Sol.de .

The basic building investigations, which are the responsibility of the State Business for Road Construction (LFS), concern the B 41 between the Saarbrücken-Rodenhof and city center junctions. The work is expected to take four days. During the investigations, there will be a full closure of the road: On February 10th and 11th, 2025, there will be a closure in the direction of inner city/Am Homburg, while on February 12 and 13, 2025 the closure towards Rodenhof/A 623 applies. Road users are asked to adapt their routes accordingly and plan more time.

detour for traffic

For the detour of vehicles over 3.5 tons that have to bypass the Johannis bridge, the traffic via Dudweiler Landstrasse is led by Jägersfreude and Dudweiler towards Friedrichsthal. This measure was considered necessary after the bridge has long been blocked for trucks over 3.5 tons. Finally, the bridge was completely blocked in late summer of the past year, which indicates that this infrastructure continues to be urgent.

In addition to the blocking of the Johannisbrücke, there are also further restrictions: the access and departure of the Völklingen-Geislautern junction on the A620 are closed due to channel work until March 31, 2025. This could continue to complicate the traffic situation in the region and make additional detours necessary.

advice from the traffic authorities emphasize the importance of planning alternative routes in advance in order to avoid traffic jams and delays. Road users should regularly find out about the current traffic conditions and adapt to the changed circumstances.

This is not the first large -scale measure on the Johannisbrücke, and it will probably not be the last. The continuous work show how important it is to ensure the quality and safety of the traffic routes in Saarland.
