Traffic chaos on the Peene Bridge: maintenance work from November 3rd!
From Monday, November 3rd, 2025, the Peene Bridge in Wolgast will be the scene of necessary maintenance work on the hydraulic system. This measure of leading security and functionality is not only a tedious but also an indispensable task, as the Uckermark courier reported. The hydraulic oil, which has suffered from natural aging in recent years, needs to be replaced. In this context, around 7,000 liters of oil are needed to bring the bridge back into perfect condition.
Not only is the oil change on the agenda, hose lines and other components of the bridge also need to be replaced. This work is scheduled until November 14, 2025 and requires special traffic adjustments. Between November 3rd and 9th, traffic can be routed across the bridge in one lane, controlled by traffic lights. At night, however, things become much more complicated for commuters and residents.
Full night closures and diversions
The nights of November 6th to 7th and November 7th to 8th will be dominated by full closures. The bridge will be completely closed to traffic during these periods: November 6th from 10:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. and November 7th from 11:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. For everyone who wants to use the bridge, this means: diversions over the Zecheriner Bridge (B 110) are necessary.
Crossing the bridge will also only be possible to a limited extent for pedestrians and cyclists. During night work, they are temporarily unable to use the bridge at all. This brings additional challenges and requires a lot of patience from everyone involved. As far as shipping traffic is concerned, smaller boats can also pass through the bridge during this phase, but larger ships must stop their journeys between November 3rd and 9th.
Further effects on rail traffic
If all that isn't enough for you, you should also keep an eye on the changes in rail traffic. As in the article of Uckermark courier can be read, the journey of the train RB 23 (18838) from Ahlbeck to Wolgast as well as the return journey (RB 23, 18841) on November 6th and 7th will be cancelled. There will be a replacement rail service for these train connections on these days so as not to completely leave travelers behind.
The entire effort is part of regular and professional bridge maintenance, which is crucial for the safety and longevity of infrastructure projects. The expertise of professionals who regularly carry out such maintenance is essential because bridges are exposed to constant stress, weather influences and aging processes. The D-ICS explains exactly how early detection and repair of damage can extend the life of this important traffic artery.
For everyone who wants to travel during the measures, it is important to be adept and keep an eye on diversions and changes in traffic. Traffic will always be a challenge, but safety is the top priority in this case.
