Belgium
⭕ Due to maintenance work, the Liège E25-E40/A602 connection between junction 35 “Avroy/Laveu” and junction 39 “Chênée” (in both directions) will be completely closed from 10:00 PM (gradual closure from 8:30 PM) until 6:00 AM (gradual reopening from 5:00 AM) on the following nights:
– from Sunday, 15 September, to Monday, 16 September,
– from Monday, 16 September, to Tuesday, 17 September,
– from Tuesday, 17 September, to Wednesday, 18 September,
– from Wednesday, 18 September, to Thursday, 19 September,
– from Thursday, 19 September, to Friday, 20 September,
– from Monday, 23 September, to Tuesday, 24 September.
Traffic will be diverted via the A604, routes S1 and B.
⭕ Work in the Ruppel Tunnel (A12) towards Brussels will begin on Monday, 16 September. In order to minimise disruptions to traffic, work will be carried out at night. From Monday evening to Saturday morning, between 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM, the tunnel tube in the direction of Brussels will be closed. Traffic in both directions will be possible via the second tube on narrowed lanes. In February 2025, preparations will start in the tunnel tube towards Antwerp. The work will last around 120 nights and, if the conditions are favourable, will be completed by the end of April 2025.
Germany
⭕ The sugar beet harvest has started in Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, which means that trucks and tractors pulling trailers with sugar beets will be frequently travelling on many roads in the region. As a result, traffic disruptions can be expected, especially on national and county roads. During the sugar beet harvest, caution is advised, especially near the sugar factories in Clauen, Klein Wanzleben, Könnern, Nordstemmen, Schladen, Uelzen and Zeitz.
Advice for drivers:
• Increase your vigilance! Beetroot can lie anywhere on the road or fall off a truck right in front of your car. If you keep a greater distance, you will be able to react in time.
• Allow more time for your commute (at least 15 to 30 minutes).
• Beetroot dirt makes roads greasy and slippery during rain. So take your foot off the gas.
• Only overtake when there is definitely no vehicle coming from the opposite direction.
• Be even more careful in darkness and fog. Beetroot transports also take place at night.
⭕ For reasons still unknown, the Charles Bridge in Drsden partially collapsed in the early morning on September 11. A 100-meter section of the bridge section used by trams fell into the Elbe River. Emergency services have closed the entire area around the bridge and the bridge itself.
⚠️Teilabschnitt der #Carolabrücke in #Dresden eingestürzt! Der gesamte Bereich um die Carolabrücke, die Bundeswasserstraße #Elbe sowie der #Elberadweg und das #Terrassenufer sind für den Verkehr komplett gesperrt!
by Hungary: higher fines and newly tolled motorway sections
The regulation of the Ministry of Interior and Administration No. 25/2013 introduces new toll rates for vehicles with a GVW of over 3.5 tons and establishes newly tolled motorway sections starting from 1 September.
Newly tolled motorway sections:
➡️ a 16.5-kilometer section of the M6 motorway between Mohács and Lippó (between km 191 and km 208);
➡️ a 5.5-kilometer section of the M44 motorway between Szentkirály and Lakitelek (from km 24 to km 30,);
➡️ a 2-kilometer section of motorway 23 bypassing Bátonyterenye (from km 0 to km 2);
➡️ a 10-kilometer section of motorway 260 from Sajószentpéter to Berente;
➡️ a 22.5-kilometer section of motorway 451 between Szentes and Orosháza (from km 46 to km 77)
➡️ a 17-kilometer section of motorway 512 between the M6 motorway and Kalocsa (from km 0-17).
Changes in the amounts of fines for failure to pay toll that take effect from 16 August
According to the new scheme, fine amounts depend on vehicle categories, type of infringement and time interval. The amounts of fines that take effect from 16 August for different types of vehicles can be checked in the following table.
by Salzburg: The HGV driving ban the B159 lifted until June 2025
Owing to the general renovation of the Ofenauer, Hiefler, Brentenberg, Zetzenberg and Helbersberg tunnels on the A10 motorway, which ism scheduled to take place from 9 September 2024 to 26 June 2025, the driving ban for vehicles with a GVW of over 7.5 t on the B159 Salzachtal Straße from km 34.4 +35m to km 35.2 +64m (in the village of Tenneck) will be lifted for throughout the period.
As a result of the renovation, only one lane will be available for traffic in each direction along this 14-kilometer section of the A10. In addition, a driving ban for vehicles wider than 3.20 m will come into effect along the entire section of the A10 affected by the renovation work. Special transports that cannot be diverted (e.g. to the Liebherr plant) will have to use the B159 Salzachtal Straße. The A10 exit will be closed for the entire renovation period. Depending on circumstances (e.g. traffic volume, the dosing of HGV traffic before the Helbersberg tunnel or the Ofenauer and Hiefler tunnels), the A10 exits towards Werden and Pass Lueg towards Salzburg must be closed. These disruptions will cause serious restrictions for regional commercial traffic (e.g. to the Sulzau industrial area, where there are gravel factories, asphalt plants, etc.). Experience from previous renovations of the A10 is another argument in favour of lifting the driving ban. Since the motorway exit closures are likely to increase travel times on this route, trcuks will be allowed to travel use the B159 Salzachtal Straße through the village of Tenneck for the duration of the renovation.
by Hungary: a change in weekend HGV driving bans
Saturday, August 3, will be an extra working day introduced in compensation for Monday, August 19, which has been declared a rest day because of the national holiday falling on Tuesday, 20 August. For this reason, the schedule of HGV driving bans will be different than is usually the case during the summer.
The driving ban will start at 10:00 PM on Saturday (August 3) and will last until 10:00 PM on Sunday (August 4). It applies to domestic and international transports and to all vehicles with a GVW of over 7.5 tons regardless of their environmental categories.
In summary, the ban will be in force on:
• August 3 (Saturday) from 10:00 PM to midnight
• August 4 (Sunday) from 00:00 to 10:00 PM.
by Austria: exits on the A10 motorway blocked to prevent drivers from avoiding traffic jams

by Switzerland – the A13 reopened
The section of the A13 motorway between Lostallo and Mesocco, which was closed following heavy storms and heavy rain in June, was reopened on Tuesday, September 3.
The renovation work, which began on June 24, has been largely completed, making it possible to reopen two lanes in each direction of traffic from Tuesday, September 3.
Extensive work has been carried out in recent weeks, including the removal of debris from landslides, the reinforcement of the motorway embankment next to the river with rock fill and the construction of a protective wall along the carriageway. In addition, the Moesa and Orbel streambeds have been cleared of debris to restore the natural course of the river.
Further cleaning work will take place in the coming weeks, but this will no longer affect traffic.
by Germany to introduce temporary checks on the border with France
In connection with the Olympic Games, checks will be introduced on the German-French border from July 20 to September 30. This may slow down HGV traffic.
In order to ensure the highest level of security, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser has announced the introduction of temporary controls on the German-French border in the period preceding and during the Olympic Games in Paris. The intention will soon be communicated to the European Commission.
Temporary checks on the land borders with Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland to combat smuggling and illegal migration will continue until December 15. Temporary checks on the German-Austrian border will last until November 11.
Temporary border checks are introduced according to Art. 25 of Schengen Borders Code in response to a serious threat to public order or internal securit
by Poland: Only one carriageway of the S86 in Katowice open to traffic – diversions for through traffic
The demolition of the flyover along Bohaterów Monte Cassino Street above the carriageway of the S86 towards Sosnowiec, which was scheduled to start on September 2, has been postponed until September 9.

Unless unforeseen circumstances occur, these diversions will be used for three weeks. The General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA) will keep drivers up to date about the next stages of the works.
