Several new construction projects for federal highways in Saxony are facing delays due to a lack of funding from the federal government. According to the Federal Ministry of Transport, based on the current financial plans, no construction permits can be issued for eight projects in the Free State - although a final building permit has already been issued or is expected.
The list includes new construction sections on the B107 east of Chemnitz to relieve the city center of through traffic and on the B178, where a connection between the three-country corner of Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic and the A4 is to be built. Unlike in other federal states, no freeway projects are affected in Saxony.
