Salzburg has initiated large-scale infrastructure and urban development projects, including the renewal of aging utility systems at Makartplatz and the ‘Festspielbezirk 2030’ project, which involves creating underground spaces in the Mönchsberg for the Salzburg Festival. As of mid-September 2026, these developments have led to significant traffic disruptions. Specifically, the Neutor tunnel has been closed to cars, motorcycles, and buses, with the closure expected to last until March 2027. This has necessitated the rerouting of trolleybus lines 1, 8, 10, and 22 through the Mülln district. This ~~closure~~ local situation is part of a broader pattern of extensive infrastructure maintenance and construction projects causing transport disruptions across Austria and Germany. In Germany, Deutsche Bahn has announced major works on the Berlin–Hamburg line with restricted track capacity and speed limits through late September. Berlin is also experiencing night-time motorway closures on the A100, A111, A113, and A103, alongside scheduled long-term S-Bahn closures between Friedrichstraße and Tiergarten in 2027. Other regional impacts include tram service changes in Halle and a two-year closure of the Mulde bridge near Pouch on the B100.
