The A66 Neuhof tunnel will be closed at night between Monday and Friday for maintenance work. From Saturday morning, an exercise will ensure diversions.
Neuhof – Between the Neuhof-Nord and Neuhof-Süd junctions, the A66 motorway will be completely closed in both directions from Monday evening (April 20th) to Friday morning (April 24th) every night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. The Fulda branch of the federal Autobahn GmbH stated that routine maintenance work in the Neuhof tunnel was the reason for this.
