Broken roads in the Rostock district: renovation by December 2025!

Something is happening in the Rostock district! Comprehensive repair work on several roads is scheduled to take place by the beginning of December 2025. The road maintenance departments Teterow, Kröpelin and Pastow are ahead. Those responsible at the Stralsund Road Construction Authority have coordinated the individual measures and are ensuring that road users will soon be able to glide over well-developed roads again.

The following areas are particularly affected: The Teterow road maintenance department is working on the roads in Lühburg, Rey and Reisaus. The Kröpelin road maintenance department takes care of the dilapidated parts in Pustohl, Radegast, Heiligenhagen and Garvensdorf. Renovations are also being carried out in Sanitz and Hohenfelde in Pastow. An important focus is also on the B 108 between Schweez and Neu Heinde in the Güstrow area. Previously, renovations had already been completed in Gnoien, Laage and Jördenstorf, which noticeably improved the important infrastructure in the district.

Causes and planning of the work

The damage is due to material fatigue and the various weather conditions, such as the dreaded freeze-thaw cycles. During the work, the affected road sections will first be milled and then re-asphalted. To ensure a one-way flow of traffic during repairs, regulating traffic lights will be installed. However, the exact date and locations for the associated measures cannot be determined in advance as the work is weather dependent.

The repair measures are part of broader infrastructure projects in the district that aim to improve accessibility to rural regions and promote economic development, particularly in the coastal area. A central component of these projects is the expansion of the road and port infrastructure in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which also includes the expansion of the B96 as an important north-south axis. The Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030 has already envisaged numerous expansion and new construction projects in the region in order to optimize transport connections and reduce bottlenecks.

Challenges in implementation

Repairing the road damage is only part of the overall project. According to information from wirtschaft-mv.de, the modernization of port facilities is also being promoted, with both state and federal funds being used here. The port of Rostock in particular benefits from these initiatives to further expand digital port logistics and improve freight and ferry connections.

As with all larger infrastructure projects, there are of course challenges here. Nature conservation remains a concern, as many construction projects interfere with sensitive landscapes. In addition, a shortage of skilled workers is seen as a significant factor that could affect the rapid implementation of the projects. These points should be viewed critically, but hopes for positive developments in the regional economy remain high.

The announced road work shows that a lot is moving in the region. Even if the diversions and slow traffic during the construction phase are certainly not left unaddressed, it is worth looking at the larger context: a well-developed road network will increase the quality of life in rural regions and possibly also strengthen tourism and freight transport.
