Traffic Corner
Autobahn detour
Autobahn A-6 toward Mannheim will be closed for bridge construction from 4 p.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday. The detour will begin at the Kaiserslautern Centrum exit, continue on to the A-63 toward Mainz to the Göllheim exit, continue on to the B-47 toward Wattenheim, and end back on the A-6. The bridge is being built to allow wildlife to safely cross over the autobahn near Enkenbach-Alsenborn.
