Lichtenau - Road closure coming on Tuesday in Lichtenau (Mittelsachsen district)!
According to the Saxon State Road Administration and Transport Office (LASuV), the aforementioned section of the B107 will experience repairs on its asphalt surface and base layers following road surface damage.
"The B107 will be fully shut down at the construction site from Tuesday," announced the LASuV.
This work is a direct continuation of the maintenance previously carried out between the exit of Markersdorf/Kolonie and the Kothensdorf branch, which was completed on Friday.

Due to the full closure, traffic from Chemnitz will detour from Wittgensdorf via the K6152 towards Wasserschänke roundabout, then proceed via Herrenhaider Straße and Neue Herrenhaider Straße to Burgstädt, before rejoining the B107 via the S241. The opposite direction will employ the same detour.
"Drivers coming from Auerswalde heading towards Chemnitz are advised to use the S200 and then the B169 via Oberlichtenau," suggests the LASuV.
Expected Completion and Funding
The work is expected to be completed by around June 17, with estimated costs totaling around €30,000—all of which will be covered by federal funds.

Insights
Here are some insights on the roadwork on the B107 in Lichtenau, Saxony:
- This roadwork has been scheduled for June 10, 2025, and is expected to last until approximately June 17, 2025. The total cost of the project is estimated to be around €30,000 and is fully financed by federal funds.
- The purpose of the roadwork is to repair the pavement damage on the B107 section between the Auerswalde village exit and the Karl-Liebknecht-Straße junction in the Sonnenland settlement.
- Detour routes have been established: traffic from Chemnitz will be diverted via the K6152 towards Wasserschänke roundabout, Herrenhaider Straße, Neue Herrenhaider Straße, S241, and return to B107 in Markersdorf. Drivers coming from Auerswalde heading towards Chemnitz are advised to divert via the S200 and B169, passing through Oberlichtenau.
The federal road repair on the B107, which commences next week in Lichtenau, is part of a larger infrastructure project that also involves the finance sector, as the work is estimated to cost approximately €30,000 and is fully funded by federal funds. Additionally, the transportation industry will be affected by the road closure, as traffic will need to divert around the construction site, with drivers from Chemnitz advised to use the S200 and B169, while those coming from Auerswalde towards Chemnitz are suggested to use alternative routes. This roadwork is significant enough to qualify as general-news, given its impact on the locality and beyond.
