The start of construction on the Wellaune bypass has been delayed. According to the State Office for Road Construction and Transport, the main part of the construction project was originally due to be put out to tender in February 2025. However, as the federal budget has not yet been approved, the financing of the project cannot be secured as planned. This also means that it is unclear when the bypass can be put into operation.
Wellaune is a district of Bad Düben in North Saxony. Three main roads meet in the village. Local residents have therefore long fought for a bypass.
