Traffic chaos in Wangen: construction site on the A96 for up to 5 hours!
Today, May 26, 2025, the A96 near Wangen im Allgäu is severely affected due to construction work. From 7:55 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., road users must expect restrictions as a construction site has been set up on a 500-meter-long section between Neuravensburg and the Obere Argen valley bridge. This work requires special attention and adapted driving behavior to ensure the safety of all road users. The information on this traffic disruption comes from the Central Traffic Management Office of the Bavarian State Building Directorate, which regularly updates and monitors the situation.

The construction site on the A96 occurs in a particularly busy part of the motorway, frequented daily by commuters and travelers. In addition to the construction site near Wangen, cleaning work is also underway on the left lane between Weißensberg and Wangen-West, which was reported on the same day. This work, which began at 7:31 a.m., is increasing the traffic situation and may have caused further delays, as stau.info reports.
Current traffic situation and challenges
The traffic situation on the A96 remains tense. While the construction site is being set up, the transition to the A7 towards Ulm was also affected at the Memmingen intersection, with all accident sites having been cleared and there are no longer any traffic obstructions. It should also be noted that in the early hours of the same day, all hazard warnings between Bad Wörishofen and Mindelheim and other sections of the motorway were lifted.
Intelligent traffic management in Bavaria is essential to optimize the performance and safety of the road infrastructure. Through the use of modern technologies and collaboration between various players from industry and science, innovative solutions are being worked on to improve traffic flow. The Bavarian State Building Administration relies on digital networking, automated driving and reliable traffic information that enables a constant flow of real-time data, according to stmb.bayern.de.
Road users are strongly advised to keep themselves informed about current roadworks and traffic reports and plan accordingly to avoid unnecessary delays and disruptions. With patience and consideration, the current situation can be safely overcome.
