Traffic on B17 Remains Congested after Road Closures Lifted
Roadworks Near Regensburg Cause Delays
After days of road closures due to construction work, traffic on the B17 federal highway in Germany remains congested. The closures, which affected a section of the road near Regensburg, have now been lifted, but residual delays are expected to continue throughout the day.
The roadworks, which began on Monday, involved the replacement of a bridge over the Danube River. The closures caused significant disruption to traffic, with long tailbacks forming during peak hours. Motorists were advised to use alternative routes or delay their journeys if possible.
Delays Expected to Continue
Despite the lifting of the road closures, traffic on the B17 remains slow-moving, particularly in the vicinity of the construction site. The residual delays are due to a combination of factors, including the need for traffic to merge back onto the main carriageway and the presence of temporary traffic lights.
The congestion is expected to ease gradually throughout the day, as traffic patterns adjust to the new road layout. However, motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys or consider using alternative routes if possible.
Alternative Routes
For those traveling on the B17, alternative routes include the A93 motorway or the B8 federal highway. The A93 provides a faster connection between Munich and Regensburg, while the B8 offers a more scenic route through the Bavarian countryside.
Motorists are advised to check traffic updates before setting off on their journeys and to allow extra time for any potential delays.
