Five of these are **full closures** (Vollsperrung). The others are junction closures, ramp closures and long-term lane restrictions. For HGV and TIR drivers on transit routes through [Germany](https://nakordoni.eu/en/country/germany), these works can mean narrow lanes, no overtaking for trucks, closed exits and longer journey times. This report is a live snapshot, not a fixed schedule. Works can start late, finish early or be extended at short notice. New incidents can also appear. Before departure, always check the [live traffic & closures map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/traffic) for current conditions on your route. ## Full closures ### **A96** (Lindau – München) - **Full closure** between Windach and Inning a. Ammersee, direction München, from 20.10.2026 21:00 to 21.10.2026 05:00. - **Full closure** between Inning a. Ammersee and Windach, direction Lindau, during the same night (20.10 21:00 to 21.10 05:00). - **Full closure** of the Eching tunnel (Tunnel Eching), including the entry at AS Inning a. Ammersee, during the same night. **Planning note:** Both directions are closed overnight near the Ammersee. Trucks running between the Lake Constance area and München should plan this section outside the closure window. If this is not possible, follow the signed diversion (U-route) via the local road network and allow extra time. Check the diversion signs carefully for weight and height limits on local roads. ### **A14** (Wismar – Schwerin) - **Full closure** between Wismar and Jesendorf, direction Schwerin, on 30.10.2026 from 08:00 to 16:00. - **Full closure** between Schwerin-Ost and Schwerin-Nord, direction Wismar, on 30.10.2026 from 08:00 to 16:00. **Planning note:** This is a daytime closure on a working day. Traffic to and from the port of Wismar is directly affected. Schedule port arrivals and departures before 08:00 or after 16:00, or follow the signed diversion. Also check your [driving time and rest period](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/tacho-calculator) plan, because waiting in congestion counts towards your daily limits. ## Major roadworks & lane restrictions ### **A4** (Köln – Olpe, Thüringen, Dresden) - Long-term restrictions between Bielstein and Hömeler Feld in both directions (since November 2024). - From 26.10.2026 09:00: new works between Bellingroth and the Wiehltalbrücke, direction Olpe. At AS Bielstein, a restriction for heavy goods traffic (max. 44 t) applies in connection with the bridge works.

Long-term closure of the exits to the A43 towards Wuppertal at AK Recklinghausen. - **A5**: AS Appenweier node closed on the night of 13–14.10. AS Bruchsal ramp to the B35 closed.

In long-term work zones, expect narrowed lanes, width limits for the left lane and no overtaking for trucks. Follow the signs on site, because the exact restrictions can change during the works. ## Plan your route through Germany - **Check before departure:** Open the live map before every trip and again at your last rest stop before a known work zone. - **Respect driving bans:** The Sunday and public holiday truck driving ban (Fahrverbot) still applies when diversions are active. Check the [weekend & holiday driving bans](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/traffic_bans) and the details of the [truck driving ban in Germany for 2026](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/traffic_bans/germany). For international routes, the overview of the [truck ban in Europe](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/traffic_bans) helps you plan across borders. If you continue south via Austria, also check the [truck ban in Slovenia](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/traffic_bans/slovenia). - **Plan parking:** Rest areas near closures fill up quickly, especially before night closures. Use the [truck parkings](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/parkings) map to find a place before the closure starts. - **Allow buffer time and check costs:** Diversions add kilometres. Calculate the German motorway toll (LKW-Maut) with the [LKW-Maut calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/de-maut-calculator) and estimate total route costs with the [trip cost calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/trip-cost-calculator). ## Useful Tools for Truck Drivers - [Live Traffic Incidents Map](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/traffic) — real-time road closures and delays - [Interactive Traffic Bans Calendar](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/traffic_bans) — weekend & holiday HGV bans - [Truck Parkings Map (19,000+)](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/parkings) — find parking during closures - [Speed Cameras (48,000+)](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers/speed_cameras) — radar and camera locations - [German LKW-Maut Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/de-maut-calculator) — calculate motorway toll costs for HGV trucks - [EU Tachograph Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/tacho-calculator) — verify driving time and mandatory break compliance - [Trip Cost Calculator](https://nakordoni.eu/en/tools/trip-cost-calculator) — estimate fuel, toll and total trip expenses - [Truck Drivers Portal](https://nakordoni.eu/en/for_truck_drivers) — all tools in one place Source: Die Autobahn GmbH des Bundes (verkehr.autobahn.de) | Updated: 13.10.2026 This report is compiled automatically from our monitoring data; the analysis is written with the help of artificial intelligence.
