Berlin-bound closure due to truck's fluid leak - Berlin's A2 Highway Completely Obstructed Due to Spilled Truck Cargo
In an unexpected turn of events, a truck transporting liquid silicone resin encountered an accident on the A2 highway, leading to a spill and subsequent contamination of the road surface. As a result, the affected section of the highway between Eilsleben and Irxleben has been closed, with traffic being diverted.
The incident, which occurred on the A2 highway, resulted in the damage of two containers of liquid silicone resin during the journey. These damaged containers leaked over a distance of around 15 kilometers, causing the contamination.

Emergency services and specialized teams are on-site working diligently to clear the spill and decontaminate the roadway. The highway remains closed until at least 6:00 AM to ensure the safety of motorists and the effectiveness of the cleanup process.
Drivers are advised to avoid the A2 in this section and use alternative routes. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will provide updates as the cleanup progresses. For continuous updates and detailed traffic information, please consult official traffic websites or navigation apps that provide real-time road status.
