B254 between Alsfeld and Lauterbach: full closure from July 7th!

Altenburg, Deutschland - In Hesse, there are extensive road construction work that will start on Monday, July 7th, 2025. In the federal road 254 between Alsfeld and Lauterbach, an urgently needed renovation process is initiated, which is used every day by numerous commuters. The construction work includes a section of around 2.9 kilometers, which is affected by various damage such as network cracks, exertion and lane. [Hessen.de] (https://mobil.hessen.de/presse/start-der-strassenbau-weit- der-b-254-Be-sfeldaltenburg) reports that the maintenance of the transport infrastructure is supported by the Federal Republic of Germany.

The renovation takes place in several construction phases, with the first phase planned from July to the end of the Hessian summer vacation. During this time, a full closure of the B254 is necessary, which results in a redirection of traffic. Commuters who are traveling from Lauterbach in the direction of Alsfeld have to adjust to the following detour: branch near Brauerschwend via Rainrod and Eifa. For the route from Alsfeld to Lauterbach, the traffic is led via the B49 to Romrod and various small streets, including Nieder-Breitenbach and Windhausen.

construction phases in detail

The relevant construction phases not only focus on the section between Alsfeld and Lauterbach, but also on other relevant routes. The B254 will be renewed between Wartenberg/Angersbach and Lauterbach from March 03, 2025. This work should be completed by the beginning of June and include a renewed blocking of the road and the bike path. Detours for this are set up, with the routes differ depending on the direction of travel. From the direction of Fulda, the diversions lead via Kleinlüder, Hainzell and other small towns, while the traffic has to be redirected from Lauterbach, where it returns to the B254 Oberhessen-Live.

The developments are part of a larger strategy to preserve the street infrastructure in Hesse. This is coordinated by Hessen Mobil, the responsible office for the construction and planning of streets that work on behalf of the Federal Administration. [Wirtschaft.hessen.de] (https://wandwirtschaft.hessen.de/verkehr/strassenplanung-bau- und-strassenbau) emphasizes that Hessen is an important traffic hub in Europe and that the maintenance of the motorways and the federal roads is of central importance in order to meet the growing traffic flows.

traffic participants are asked to adapt to the upcoming restrictions and to plan enough time for the detours. In addition, Hessen Mobil will regularly inform about the progress of the construction sites and keep the citizens up to date on changes in traffic management.
