Next week, from March 2 to March 6, drivers in the eastern part of Munich and in the Old Town will face traffic disruptions due to the closure of several tunnels during nighttime hours. The affected tunnels include the Richard-Strauss Tunnel, Effner Tunnel, Innsbrucker Ring Tunnel, and Leuchtenbergring Tunnel, all part of the Eastern Middle Ring Tunnel network. These closures will occur each night from 10 PM to 5 AM, redirecting traffic above ground.

Additionally, the Old Town Ring Tunnel will also be closed during the same hours, with traffic once again being diverted to surface roads. These scheduled closures are necessary for maintenance work mandated by the construction office and occur biannually to ensure the proper functioning of the tunnel infrastructure. The maintenance checks are critical for the safety and efficiency of the tunnel systems, highlighting Munich's commitment to maintaining a reliable transportation network.

Drivers are advised to plan their routes in advance and expect delays during the specified time frames. The city aims to minimize inconvenience while ensuring the safety and effectiveness of its infrastructure, which plays a vital role in the city's traffic management and overall urban mobility.
