Construction on A72 Motorway Between Leipzig and Chemnitz Nearing Final Stages
Construction of new building, halted more than two decades ago, gradually nearing completion. - Progress underway for A72 project, nearing completion after over two decades of work.
Hey there! The long-awaited expansion of the A72 motorway between Leipzig and Chemnitz is almost done and dusted. By the summer, traffic from Leipzig to Chemnitz will be able to use the entire stretch of road from the Leipzig interchange to the Zwenkau junction, thanks to an announcement by a spokesperson for the Autobahn GmbH. This completes the project, with the temporary lanes currently in use on the Leipzig-bound carriageway opening up for business.
But don't think it's all over yet, mate! The Autobahn GmbH still has some work lined up, including the application of a specialtype of noise-reducing asphalt. The project's official completion with both carriageways and all lanes is scheduled for 2026, according to their plans.
The 162-kilometer motorway connection from the Bavarian Vogtland via Chemnitz to Leipzig has been under construction in stages since 2003. The final section before Rötha in the Leipzig district to the A38 south of Leipzig was particularly tricky due to the coal dumping areas the route had to traverse. Extensive compaction was required for the motorway construction.
Now that we're so close to the finish line, why not plan your next road trip from Leipzig to Chemnitz using this spiffy new motorway?
