Road Closure on A6 near Walldorf: Information for Motorists - Traffic Alert: Closure of A6 at Kreuz Walldorf - Essential Information for Drivers
The Federal Highway Authority has announced that the A6 roadway towards Mannheim will be closed from Saturday evening around 11:00 PM to Sunday morning at 5:00 AM, due to ongoing construction work at the Walldorf interchange. The closure does not affect the roadway in the opposite direction.
This closure is intended to facilitate the ongoing construction work, which has been ongoing since May. Drivers are advised to take alternative routes if possible during the closure period.
Alternative Routes
For those traveling from Wiesloch/Rauenberg towards Walldorf/Mannheim, an alternative route involves exiting the A6 at Wiesloch/Rauenberg, taking the B3 northbound towards Mühlhausen, and continuing via local roads (e.g., L723 and L560) heading northeast to reach Walldorf or Mannheim. This route may involve driving through town centers, so expect slower speeds.
For those traveling from Walldorf/Mannheim towards Wiesloch/Rauenberg, an alternative route involves exiting the A6 at the Walldorf interchange before the closure zone, using the L723 southbound or B39 towards Mühlhausen, and connecting to the B3 southbound to reach Wiesloch/Rauenberg.
For those traveling longer distances along the A6, consider using the A5 as an alternative. This involves exiting the A6 at Wiesloch, taking local roads west to connect to the A5 at Walldorf or near Heidelberg, and using the A5 north or south as necessary, avoiding the closed A6 segment.
Important Tips
- Expect increased traffic on local roads (B3, B39, L723, L560).
- Plan for some delay, especially early Sunday morning.
- Follow posted detour signs for the smoothest route.
- Use a GPS navigation system with live traffic updates for the best real-time routing.
Additional signs need to be installed for the closure, and the closure is expected to cause delays and traffic congestion on the A6 towards Mannheim. Vacationers and other drivers should plan extra time for their travel on Saturday night.
