Transport chaos in Munich: Gotthardstraße closed until 2026!

St. Ulrich, Deutschland - in Munich, chaos is currently ruling on the streets, and the construction work does not seem to end. From now until February 1, 2026, working commuters and residents face major challenges, because the Gotthardstrasse and neighboring areas are closed until further notice. The traffic restrictions have been in effect since June 18, 2025, and whoever believes that this is a temporary inconvenience, is huge. Loud News.de is expected with the storm and temporary traffic jams.

What exactly is the reason for these closures? When a look at the cards of the city, it quickly becomes clear that several streets are affected, in particular the Gotthardstraße between Gotthardstraße and Valpichlerstrasse and Stroblstraße. Changes in the flow of traffic are compensated for by diversions, but you can still expect significantly more traffic jams than usual.

additional construction sites and traffic impairments

But that's not the only construction site that affects the Munich traffic situation. The Stadtwerke Munich will carry out work on the district heating network in Altheimer Eck until July 11, 2025, which lead to further restrictions. For the passage between women's tifest road and Hotterstraße, closures had already been set up by June 6th - the detours also require patience from road users: inside. In addition, there will be renovation work in Kirchtrudersing until the end of August, which will result in mutual traffic and temporarily full closures. From August 4, the road will even be completely closed to cars and cyclists, as the City of Munich reports.

There are also restrictions in Maxvorstadt. Amalienstraße is completely closed until the end of July, but pedestrians and cyclists can go through. In addition, Amalienburgstraße 17 in Pasing will be affected by work on the power grid until July 25th, with a trace towards the city.

where are you traveling quickly?

Is it now looking for alternative routes? They are available, but they are rare, or as they say so nicely: "Where the shoe presses, suddenly becomes clear where it is stuck". The traffic on Bahnhofstrasse is also a lane through the construction work on the 2nd S-Bahn master route. Balanstraße in Giesing also has to struggle with closures until July 18, while Brudermühlstraße in Sendling is expected to do the roads until September.

In summary, it can be said: If drivers have to be traveling inside in the near future, you should definitely plan more time and use alternative traffic routes. The construction sites are not only annoyed, but also show that Munich must be prepared for the future - even if the way to this vision is currently stony.
