B317 near Maulburg faces delays as bridge safety upgrades begin March 23

Drivers using the B317 near Maulburg will face delays from late March. Construction work begins on Monday, 23 March 2026, with changes to traffic flow and parking access. The project focuses on replacing guardrails on the bridge to improve safety.

The work will take around ten working days, running only on weekdays during quieter hours. Crews will close the adjacent parking lot for the entire period, though it will reopen on weekends and public holidays. Traffic at the Äckerleweg junction will be reduced to a single lane, controlled by temporary signals.

The highway itself will remain fully open outside construction times. Authorities have planned the schedule to limit disruption, but drivers should expect some hold-ups. The new guardrails are designed to meet updated safety standards.

Once complete, the bridge will have modernised guardrails for better protection. The parking area and full two-lane traffic will return after the ten-day project. Motorists are advised to plan extra time for journeys through Maulburg during the work.
