A4 being renovated - 38 million for new roadway and bridges

Drivers will have to be prepared for obstructions on the Autobahn 4 between Hohenstein-Ernstthal and Glauchau-West over the next few months. From April to December 2026, the roadway in the direction of Erfurt between the two junctions will be renewed using concrete construction, according to the federal government's Autobahn GmbH.

The reason for this is extensive damage to the 20-year-old carriageway. The Hohenstein-Ernstthal and Glauchau-Ost junctions are also to be renovated in this context. The renovation of 13 bridge structures is also planned, as well as the renewal of the crash barriers on the route and the drainage. The total costs amount to around 38 million euros.

Junction to the "MotoGP" at the Sachsenring reopened

Two lanes are expected to be available to drivers in both the Chemnitz and Erfurt directions from the evening of April 1. The speed limit will be 100 kilometers per hour.

From April 1 to July 8, 2026, the Hohenstein-Ernstthal junction will reportedly be closed in the direction of Erfurt. However, the junction is set to reopen in time for the major MotoGP event at the Sachsenring. The Glauchau-Ost junction will then be closed in the direction of Erfurt from mid-July until October.
