Gridlock at Motorway Intersection in Weimar and Erfurt
**Headline:** Major Road Closure Affects Motorway A4 Traffic Between Erfurt and Weimar
The Thuringian State Office for Construction and Transport (TLBV) has announced that the state road L1056, which serves as a feeder road for the exit Erfurt-Vieselbach on the motorway A4, will be fully closed for three months starting from July 7th, 2025. This closure is due to the renovation of the road surface.
During this period, no through traffic will be possible, and the exit between Erfurt and Weimar on the motorway A4 will temporarily become a dead end. As a result, motorists are advised to use surrounding motorway exits or detours. Common alternatives include using exits further away from the closure and local roads connecting Erfurt and Weimar.
While there are no reports of extended traffic jams specifically linked to this closure, motorists should expect increased travel times and possible congestion during peak hours. Drivers are encouraged to monitor local traffic news and navigation apps for real-time updates and further instructions regarding detours or lane restrictions.
The detour route for the closure of the state road L1056 leads from the B7 via Konrad-Adenauer-Straße, Am Herrenberg, Windischholzhausen, Haarberg to Klettbach, then via Hayn to Eichelbach and back. This detour adds approximately 15 minutes of travel time.
The closure of the state road L1056 will also affect motorway A4 traffic, as it is a heavily used corridor connecting these cities in Thuringia. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time when using the motorway A4 in the Erfurt-Weimar corridor during the renovation period.
The renovation is expected to last until 4th October 2025. Continued updates are likely to be provided by local authorities. It is important to note that the available search results mention incidents and closures on other parts of A4 but do not provide explicit details on alternative route specifics or real-time traffic updates for this particular closure.
Stay informed and drive safely during this period of roadworks.
