The wood maintenance work in the slope area above the curve is necessary because the ash trees there are affected by ash dieback. Ash trees affected by the fungal disease show necrosis on the trunk in addition to the dying off of the shoots and increasing bush encroachment in the crown area, which leads to a reduction in the stability of the trees and therefore poses a risk to the road and road users.
The district of Ludwigsburg has commissioned a specialist to carry out the work. In order to prevent any danger to road users during the felling work, a local detour will be signposted via the L 1141 and the L 1110. Once the work has been completed and the roadway cleaned, the road section will be reopened to traffic immediately.
