The B62 federal road at Niederaula will shut down completely from Friday, June 19, at midnight through Sunday, June 21, at 4 p.m. for bridge construction work on the A7 motorway. The closure requires a support structure for building a new underpass. Traffic must use alternate routes through the A5, A7, and local roads.

Closure Details and Timeline

The B62 will be completely blocked under the A7 bridge from June 19 at midnight to June 21 at 4 p.m. This 64-hour closure allows construction crews to build a support frame for the new western section of the B62 plus DB underpass. The Autobahn GmbH says the work is essential for safety during bridge construction on three A7 spans near Niederaula.

Detour Routes for Drivers

Traffic from Alsfeld to Niederaula can use the A5, Hattenbacher junction, and A7. Drivers from Niederjossa must take detour U84 via Unter-Schwarz and Fraurombach to the Hünfeld/Schlitz exit, then continue on the A7. Vehicles under 30 tons can also use detour U1 through Unter-Schwarz, Solms, and Mengshausen. Access to Rosi’s Autohof and McDonald’s remains open from the Niederaula exit.

Signage and Traffic Management

The Autobahn GmbH will post detour signs on the A5 and A7. Traffic information services will track congestion during the closure. Authorities ask drivers to use caution on alternate routes and expect increased traffic on local roads. The closure affects both trucks and passenger cars equally.

Construction Context

The closure is part of ongoing work on three A7 bridges at Niederaula. The new underpass structure will connect the B62 with railway infrastructure. This is one of several closures planned for the region as bridge renovation continues through 2026.

Final Thoughts

The B62 closure June 19-21 will redirect traffic through the A5, A7, and local detours. Plan extra travel time and use alternate routes to avoid the 64-hour shutdown.
