Traffic chaos on the A3: truck defect causes 6.5 km of traffic jams!

On the night of May 23rd to 24th, 2025, road users on the A3 motorway near Altdorf near Nuremberg can expect significant restrictions. From 9:35 p.m. to 1:35 a.m., recovery and repair work on a broken truck will be carried out. This leads to a narrowing of the road and the closure of the right lane and the exit between Altdorf/Burgthann (90) and Oberölsbach (91). The length of the obstruction is approximately 6.5 km. Highway operators advise drivers to drive carefully and take alternative routes if necessary. These measures are necessary to ensure safety for all road users and to create the necessary space for recovery work, such as [news.de](https://www.news.de/auto/858640489/verkehrsmelde-altdorf-bei-nuernberg-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-fahrzeugdefekt-von -05-23-2025-to-05-24-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-congestion-risk-in-altdorf-near-nuernberg-zip code-90518-weinhof-lenzenberg-auf-a3/1/) reported.
