Grafmühlstrasse is passable again after months of closure!

On September 5, 2025, the full closure of Grafmühlstrasse in Sulzbach-Rosenberg between Tilsitstrasse and Memelstrasse was lifted. The road is now fully accessible again. This notice provides relief to residents and commuters who were affected by the temporary measure. The closure began at 7:30 a.m. on July 28, 2025 and was originally scheduled to last until September 16, 2025, causing significant traffic disruptions in the area.

The reasons for the closure were necessary maintenance work due to the high volume of traffic and wear and tear on the road network. During the renovation work, extensive traffic and temporary traffic jams were to be expected. It was recommended that speed adjustments be made and traffic management systems be observed. Diversion notices were heavily signposted on site to divert traffic and minimize the negative impact on the surrounding area. According to the information from [News.de](https://www.news.de/auto/858805837/verkehrsmelde-sulzbach-rosenberg-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-baustelle-sperrung-einschraenkung-vo n-28-07-2025-until-16-09-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-congestion-risk-in-sulzbach-rosenberg-zip code-92237-sulzbach-loderhof-on-the-grafmuehlstrasse/1/) The length of the closed areas was 78 meters in both directions.

Transport infrastructure in Bavaria

Bavaria, as the largest federal state in Germany in terms of area, has a special responsibility for the mobility of its citizens. This is a basic requirement for prosperity and growth. Current traffic forecasts, as stated by the Bavarian State Ministry, show that both passenger and freight traffic will increase significantly. Passenger transport performance will increase by more than a quarter by 2030, while freight transport performance is expected to increase by around 40 percent.

In order to meet these challenges, Bavaria relies on maintaining the existing infrastructure and expanding it as needed. The federal government is responsible for the construction and maintenance of federal transport routes, which are integrated into the federal transport route plan. This includes projects for road, rail and waterways. Another goal of Bavarian transport policy is accessibility, in order to make public transport accessible to everyone, especially those with limited mobility.

The lifting of the full closure not only represents progress for the local traffic situation, but is also in the context of greater efforts to improve the traffic infrastructure in Bavaria.
