Mühleberg on-ramp to Bern closes for five days next week

The Mühleberg on-ramp toward Bern on the A1 motorway will shut for five days next week. The closure runs from February 9 to 13, 2026, between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM daily. Authorities cite space constraints as the reason for the restricted access.

The Swiss Federal Roads Office (FEDRO) will carry out tree-felling work at the Mühleberg interchange during this period. Unstable trees near the road pose a safety risk, and their removal will also support forest rejuvenation.

Drivers heading toward Bern will need to use the Bern-Brünnen interchange as an alternative route. Official sources have not provided detailed detours, so motorists—especially commuters and lorry drivers—are advised to check live updates. Real-time traffic information is available on srf.ch/verkehrsinformationen or rtr.ch/novitads, where any temporary diversions will be signalled.

The daily closures will last eight hours each day, ending on February 13. The operation aims to enhance road safety by removing hazardous trees. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and use the suggested online resources for the latest route changes.
