SCANDAL: Complete closure on state road 1188 blows up traffic in Leonberg!
Full closure of the L1188 in Leonberg from July 9, 2025 to August 31, 2025 due to road renewal, diversions set up.

SCANDAL: Complete closure on state road 1188 blows up traffic in Leonberg!
A colossal traffic chaos is looming! From now on, state road 1188 between Glemseck and Frauenkreuz in Leonberg is FULLY CLOSED for an indefinite period of time! Yes, you heard that right! This means that commuters and drivers have to prepare for months of traffic jams and huge detours. Was the traffic light switched to “end time” here? The construction work, which is classified as “sensational”, is scheduled to last until August 31, 2025 and will cost an incredible 1.4 million euros – paid for by the state of Baden-Württemberg! This exorbitant sum promises nothing less than a comprehensive renovation of the road and state-of-the-art equipment for the bus stops!
The first construction work is already in full swing! The full closure in both directions has been a reality since July 9, 2025 and those responsible are making a real effort to keep the traffic volume under control. Traffic jams and traffic jams are already the order of the day! Stuttgarter Nachrichten reports that another closure at the intersection at the Fermentation plant is planned. This absurd transport policy sticks like chewing gum into the summer holidays!
The SHOCKING details of the construction site
- Umleitung: Die Umleitung führt über die Mahdentalstraße und die Magstadter Straße und verlängert die Fahrt um etwa 10 Minuten, sprich über 7,5 km, für PKWs und LKWs gleichermaßen!
- Baustellenstatus: Aktuell kann es zu dramatischen Verkehrsstockungen kommen, die sich in beiden Richtungen bemerkbar machen. Denn nichts ist schlimmer als ein unberechenbares Verkehrschaos!
- Verkehrseinschränkungen: Im gesamten Bereich gibt es halbsseitige Sperrungen mit Ampeln, die den Verkehr verlangsamen. Wer denkt, die Baustelle fände nur in Leonberg statt, irrt gewaltig – die Auswirkungen sind bis nach Sindelfingen zu spüren!
[news.de] reports that these highly dramatic transport projects are not an isolated case! With 144 ongoing construction sites in Baden-Württemberg, there are numerous more CLOSURES coming up that will put drivers' nerves to the test! Is Germany on the way to a traffic level that can only be overcome with a barge?
Where is this madness leading?
The outlook is bleak! With the planned redesign and the abrupt traffic disruptions, the anger of residents and commuters is boiling over. While the Federal Ministry of Transport considers it absolutely necessary to redesign roads, the traffic jams never end. [Auto Motor und Sport](https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/verkehr/144-bauprojekte-diese-autobahnen- Werden-ausmachen/) even reports that the entire system in Baden-Württemberg is under pressure and bypasses will not bring any relief!
Stay tuned! This story will continue to develop and the coming weeks will show whether this “gigantic” construction site can put a stop to the traffic jam madness or whether we have to be prepared for hours of patience in traffic jams at 30 degrees. The question remains: Can you leave your car in the shed for a few more months, or will your everyday life become an emotional gamble on the streets of Leonberg?
