A38 and A17: Crossing and diversions bring traffic to a standstill!
Current traffic changes affect the A38 motorway and the A17 significantly in the coming days. Autobahn GmbH of the federal government has announced measures to maintain and improve security, which will cut off important routes and redirect traffic. These measures are particularly important for commuters and travelers who are traveling in and around Leipzig.
From October 6 to 10, 2025, the lanes are temporarily reduced on the A38 motorway towards Göttingen. This measure affects the section between the Leipzig-Süd motorway junction and the "Fuchsaue" rest area. During the day, the overtaking lane is closed to channel work, which redirects the traffic to the remaining track. The aim is to ensure a smooth flow of traffic despite the restrictions, such as [diesachsen.de] (https://www.diesachsen.de/meissen-news/a17-unnel-coschuetz-doelzschen-und-altfranken-getrig- 3061501).
Closures on the A17
In addition to the measures on the A38, important closures are also provided on the A17. On October 7th and 8th and on October 9 and 10, 2025, the tunnels Coschütz, Dölzschen and Altfranken will be closed on the road between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Drivers are asked to avoid the Dresden-Gorbitz and Dresden-Südvorstadt junctions in order to avoid the affected areas.
Another important point is the work at the Dresden-Prohlis junction towards Prague. These are scheduled from October 7th to 9th, 2025 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The detour takes place via a turning drive to the Dresden-Südvorstadt junction.
Traffic impairments on the A38
Current traffic reports show that there are always disturbances on the A38 towards Göttingen. Today, on October 4, 2025, there were several reports of defective vehicles and unsecured accident sites. For example, it was reported at 12:59 p.m. that the right lane between Bleicherode and Breitenworbis was closed, while the police and other facilities were on site for accident recording. At 3:08 p.m., the section between large changes and Bleicherode was again reported by lost loads on the left lane, as stau.info.
Drivers should therefore exercise special caution and inform about current traffic reports in order to avoid traffic jams and further delays. Reelevant updates for the situation are still expected.
