A9 Motorway Closure: Overnight Repair Work Affects Traffic Between Nuremberg and Munich

Motorists travelling between Nuremberg and Munich on the A9 motorway should be aware of a full overnight closure between Denkendorf and Lenting, effective from the night leading into Tuesday, August 19, 2025. This closure is due to essential repair work [1].

Detours and Alternative Routes

Although specific detour routes have not been detailed, drivers can expect local road detours to maintain traffic flow. It is advisable to follow the official signage for detours and plan for additional travel time. For precise detour routes, checking with official Bavarian transport or motorway authorities’ websites or traffic information services before travel is recommended.

The A9: A Major North-South Axis

As a "Digital Test Field Autobahn" for years, the A9 plays a significant role as one of Germany's most important north-south axes. Regular maintenance and modernization are necessary to ensure the continued smooth operation of this vital transport artery, as reported by Bayerischer Rundfunk [2].

Stay Informed

Current traffic information and congestion reports for the A9 can be found on bayerninfo.de and autobahn.de. Motorists are encouraged to check the current situation on these websites or via the traffic reports of the Autobahn GmbH before departure.

Travel Recommendations

Travelers should adjust their routes, avoid the closure time, and allow for significantly more time in case of unavoidable nighttime travel. The Lenting junction in the direction of Nuremberg has been fully closed since August 3 and is expected to remain closed until August 18 [1].
