In Germany, recent and upcoming works include full closures of sections SW 20 and SW 32 in the Schweinfurt district for asphalt and surface works through September 2026. In Trier, the Römerbrücke is scheduled for a 12-hour vehicle closure on August 22 for structural inspections, while the A671 Mainbrücke Hochheim will undergo full closure from August 21 to 24 for concrete repairs. In Schwerin, construction on Rogahner Straße will alter bus lines 5 and 16 through late September, and Rottweil faces overlapping closures involving the B 14/B 27 bypass and railway bridge repairs.
