🚧 Full Road Closure Between Eselsfürth and Mehlingen Starting August 24
The Kreisverwaltung Kaiserslautern, sharing information from the LBM Kaiserslautern, has announced that the L401 between Eselsfürth and the northern entrance to Mehlingen (L382) will be fully closed beginning Monday, August 24, 2026 due to road construction.
The project is expected to last around 16 weeks and will be completed in four phases:
• Phase 1 – August/September: Mehlingen industrial area intersection to the L401/L382 intersection
• Phase 2 – September/October: Fröhnerhof to the Mehlingen industrial area
• Phase 3 – October/November: ZAK to Fröhnerhof
• Phase 4 – November/December: L401/L395 intersection toward Enkenbach to ZAK
Businesses located along the affected sections will remain accessible from at least one direction during construction.
🚗 Detours
From Kaiserslautern to Mehlingen, traffic will be routed from Eselsfürth along the L395 toward Enkenbach-Alsenborn, then along the L382 through Mehlingen and back to the L401.
Drivers traveling from Sembach toward Kaiserslautern may also use the L382 through Baalborn and Otterberg as an alternative route.
The work includes resurfacing the roadway, adding new asphalt, and replacing guardrails and traffic signs. A full closure is required for safety.
Please allow extra travel time if you regularly drive through this area.
