Wesertunnel: Bremen closes motorway ring by 2030 for 1.64 billion euros!
The construction of the Weser Tunnel to complete the A281 in Bremen is making great progress. This important transport connection is intended to close the motorway ring around Bremen and thus noticeably relieve traffic. The A281, which runs between Bremen-Seehausen and Burg-Grambke, will in future play an important role in connecting the freight transport center as well as the ports and Bremen airport. How buten and within reports, a traffic forecast for 2030 is expected to be up to 55,000 vehicles per day.
Construction work is currently underway in the south of Bremen, particularly at the Neuenlander Straße and Kattenturmer Heerstraße junctions. The project company Deges has confirmed that the construction site is on schedule and there are no major delays. This is good news for residents who are hoping for noticeable relief on the A1, A27, B75 and Neuenlander Straße.
Chronology of the A281
The history of the highway project dates back to the 1970s. In the requirements plan, plans for an L-shaped connection between the A1 and A27 were drawn up for the first time. Here is an overview of the key milestones:
- 1970: Erste Pläne für die Verbindung.
- 1983: Festschreibung der A281 im Flächennutzungsplan des Landes Bremen.
- 1995-2014: Fertigstellung mehrerer Teilstücke der A281.
- 2019: Erster Spatenstich für den Wesertunnel.
- 2023: Bau genehmigt trotz Kostensteigerung auf 775 Millionen Euro.
- 2025: Vorbereitungen für den Wesertunnel abgeschlossen, Umleitungen geplant.
- 2030: A281 soll vollendet sein, Gesamtkosten voraussichtlich 1,64 Milliarden Euro.
In 1984 the route definition was completed by the Federal Ministry of Transport. The constant progress of the project is evidence of the careful planning and cooperation between various authorities, such as the DEGES represents. Sections 2/2 and 4 as well as the connection of the B6n and B212n to the A281 are currently being further developed.
Environmental aspects and transport development plan
The extensive construction work is not taking place without taking the environment into account. Measures such as the creation of green walls and the protection of rare meadow bird species were implemented. This not only optimizes traffic on the motorways, but also strives for an ecological balance.
The Bremen Transport Development Plan 2025, as in Bremen construction described, wants to keep the city attractive not only for citizens, but also for business and tourism. All means of transport and networks are taken into account, from walking to cycling to public transport.
In summary, the construction of the Weser Tunnel is a crucial step for the future of Bremen's transport planning. Now that the first preparatory steps have been successfully completed, the coming years will focus on the completion of this important traffic artery. It remains to be seen how this measure will change traffic volumes in Bremen and what other positive effects it could have for the region.
