Traffic chaos in Munich: Leonrodstraße closed until July 2025!

Traffic chaos in Munich: Leonrodstraße closed until July 2025!

The city of Munich has been struggling with significant traffic disruptions for a few weeks now. The changes in the road network are primarily due to construction sites that affect different areas of the city and continue until the summer of 2025. Among the affected streets is Leonrodstraße, which extends between Leonrodplatz and Fasaneriestrasse. Stadtwerke Munich are active here and carry out work on a pension line, which leads to a narrowing of the road on just one lane. By July 4, 2025, road users have to expect traffic jams and staggering traffic. A speed limit of 30 km/h must also be observed how [News.de] (https://www.news.de/Amp/858526681/verkehrspland-muenchen-zur-verkehrs-wegen-bauste-schraenkung-von-07-04-04- 2025-bis-04-07-2025-besworts-in-traffic-in-Muenchen-plz-80636-Neuhausen-Nymphenburg-Ebenau-Dom-Pedro-on-Leonrodstrasse/1/) reported.

But that's not the only phase of construction that Munich drivers will take great use in the coming months. Along the Englschalkinger Straße in Bogenhausen, where the municipal utilities on the power grid are also working, a lane will be omitted by August 29, 2025, while pedestrians and cyclists can continue to pass the construction site. Traffic management is also affected in Forstenried; By August 1, 2025, drivers have to count on a complete blocking of the Forstenrieder Allee between Züricher Straße and Filchnerstraße.

other construction sites in the city

The Fürstenrieder Straße between Ammersestrasse and Laimer Kreisel is faced with the construction of the Tram-West Tangente. Here, road users can look forward to single-lane access, while foot and cycling traffic remains possible, albeit with partly limited route. According to Munich city, further construction projects are carried out in the streets in the entire urban area, including the Georg-Ummer-Ring, where work has been used to renovate the road since June 6th.

A new interactive "service card" helps Munichers to find out about the ongoing construction work in the city. This innovative platform not only shows all current construction sites, but also temporary traffic restrictions inside and from the middle ring. In addition, clicking on the symbols you get information quickly and easily about the respective diversions and the expected duration of the work. The new service, provided by Munich Digital, has set itself the goal of creating transparency regarding the construction activities in the city and thus facilitating the planning for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists.

Another example of the large number of construction sites in the city is the Gabelsbergerstraße, where work on surface restoration has taken place since March 10. There is also restricted accessibility for car traffic, while pedestrians and cyclists can continue to pass the construction site. The Garmischer Straße will also be affected by construction work as part of the tram-West tangent by August 2025, which forces drivers to circumvent.
