Road Closure: A3 — Bonn

A significant disruption is expected on the A3 road, specifically between Ransbach-Baumbach/Mogendorf and Landsberg an der Warthe, near the city of Bonn, from 11 August 2026 to 8 September 2026. The highway authority, Autobahn GmbH, has announced that this stretch of the A3, which connects Frankfurt to Köln, will be subject to restrictions due to the construction of a new bridge, known as the Wildbrücke Oberhaid. The affected section, approximately 3.88 km long, will have a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h and a maximum passing width of 9.25 m.

The construction work, which begins at 00:00 on 11 August 2026 and ends at 00:00 on 8 September 2026, is part of a larger project scheduled to be completed by 1 December 2029. Drivers planning to use this route during the specified period should be prepared for potential delays and consider alternative routes to avoid congestion. The highway authority, Autobahn GmbH, responsible for the A3, is working to minimize the impact of the disruption, but motorists are advised to check for updates before embarking on their journey.

To navigate this disruption, drivers are recommended to use traffic apps or websites to get the latest information on traffic conditions and plan their route accordingly. Leaving early or considering alternative modes of transport may also be necessary to avoid the expected delays. Additionally, drivers should be aware of the reduced speed limit and passing width, and adjust their driving accordingly to ensure safety.

The A3 is a critical route connecting major cities in the region, and this disruption may have a significant impact on commuters and travelers. However, with some planning and flexibility, drivers can minimize the disruption caused by the construction work. Autobahn GmbH is working to complete the project as quickly as possible, and the new bridge will ultimately improve the safety and efficiency of the A3.
