Traffic congestion on A4 highway due to truck blaze close to Weißenberg
On September 5, 2025, a truck loaded with scrap caught fire on the A4 highway between Nieder Seifersdorf and Weißenberg, causing significant traffic disruptions. The incident was reported in a regional news update from Bautzen at 12:30 PM, which can be found on SACHSEN - Das Sachsenradio.
The fire-fighting and recovery operations took several hours, and the A4 highway was closed for several hours as a result. This caused traffic to be backed up for several kilometers, with delays of between fifteen and twenty minutes expected on the affected bypasses, such as the B6 between Jenkwitz and Bautzen, and the county roads between Niederkaina and Bautzen.
Residents in Wasserkretscham, near Weißenberg, have been affected by continuous truck noise from the highway. They have been demanding a speed limit to reduce the noise, as trucks roll day and night to and from the highway in Wasserkretscham.
Traffic researchers from Dresden have investigated the causes of traffic jams on highways and federal roads in Saxony. While they claim that traffic jams can never be completely prevented, they provide insights into how drivers can contribute to reducing traffic congestion.
