Traffic chaos in Moosham: asphalting work with new dates!

In the Bavarian community of Mintraching, there will be a series of asphalting work in the coming weeks that will challenge the patience of some people in particular. The work in the construction area “An der Regensburger Straße” (Am Oberwiesfeld) will begin on Monday, October 6th, 2025. According to mintraching.de, the date for asphalting has been postponed to Saturday, October 18th, 2025. This delay affects the topcoat, which will be applied on Friday, October 10, 2025. Previously, on October 2nd, preparatory work such as milling off the edge wedges had already taken place.

Letters from the company carrying out the work will be distributed to residents to provide timely information about current developments. Increased traffic jams are expected, particularly in view of traffic congestion. Traffic disruptions have been expected in the surrounding streets since August 1, 2025, which will be exacerbated by the construction sites in the region.

Traffic disruptions and congestion forecasts

The asphalting work in Moosham is part of a larger context of construction sites across Germany. The ADAC also makes it clear that construction sites account for a large proportion of traffic disruptions. Drivers have to be prepared for longer journey times and should be prepared for unannounced daily construction sites, which can often suddenly cause traffic jams. According to tagesfunk.de, patience is required from drivers, especially during the current major road construction projects.

The year 2025 is classified as a year with numerous construction sites and renovation projects in road construction. In addition to the asphalting work in Moosham, renovations to bridges and tunnels and the renewal of road surfaces are also a big topic in Germany. According to statista.com, the infrastructure is suffering from a high need for renovation. After the collapse of the Carola Bridge in Dresden in 2024, the federal government decided on a comprehensive renovation package worth around 500 billion euros.

The condition of German roads

Last year, sales in road construction rose to over 14 billion euros, making the sector the most important area of ​​civil engineering. Nevertheless, most Germans are dissatisfied with the condition of the roads. A 2025 survey found that over half of respondents complained about defects such as potholes and cracks in the asphalt. More and more users are demanding an improvement in road conditions and an end to the constant construction sites that are particularly common in the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Hesse.

Given these challenges, it is important that planning and signage around construction sites is as clear and transparent as possible. This is the only way to maintain traffic flow and avoid unexpected disruptions.
