Construction work on the A20: 30 million for renovation by the end of November!

The planned construction work on Autobahn 20 in northern Germany is progressing, but drivers will have to be patient until the end of November. A total of around 10 kilometers of repair work will be carried out between Strasburg and Neubrandenburg. Northern Courier reports that the work focuses, among other things, on milling the asphalt layers and repairing damaged areas. The entire project costs a whopping 30 million euros and also includes the installation of new asphalt surface layers and extensive marking work.

Important for all commuters: The Brohmer Berge car park will remain closed during construction work until completion. Road users must prepare for diversions, even if there are no official diversions. The work is necessary to ensure safety on this busy route and to extend the life of the highway.

Costs and plans for the A20

In connection with the A20, there is also news about the costs of continuing to build the coastal motorway. Construction site planning is influenced by a new cost estimate, which fortunately does not show any drastic price increases for important projects such as the Kehdinger Cross and the Elbe Tunnel. According to that District newspaper weekly The current construction costs for the A20 tunnel and interchange amounted to 2.191 billion euros, which represents only a minimal increase of four million euros compared to previous cost estimates.

This stability in cost estimates is considerable, as rising prices for building materials and energy cause uncertainty, especially in the construction industry. The tunnel construction alone is estimated at 1.948 billion euros, while the Kehdinger Cross is estimated at 243 million euros. Supporters of the project, such as the Förderkreis Feste Unterelbequerung, welcome the new estimates because they hope that the A20 will not only relieve traffic flows, but also give a boost to the regional economy.

Nationwide investments in infrastructure

The federal government's comprehensive investment plan is worth another look daily news plans to invest around 166 billion euros in infrastructure by 2029. This will primarily benefit ailing railway lines and motorway bridges. Around 107 billion euros are earmarked for rail to address the urgently needed renovations. Competitiveness and the connection between northern and southern Germany are being polished here.

In addition, the transport ministries have completed plans to modernize around 100 train stations as “train stations of the future”. These should not only have a uniform design, but also provide better information and ensure accessibility.

The combination of local construction projects and nationwide investments ensures that the infrastructure in northern Germany is improved in the long term to meet the challenges of transport.
