Traffic chaos in Rostock: traffic jams and construction sites plague drivers!
In the region around Rostock, the roads will become increasingly narrow in the coming months. Traffic jam and construction site information ensures a very moving traffic picture in several hotspots. By looking at the current situation, drivers can find out where they need to wait patiently for their journey and which diversions should be considered.
The motorways A19 and A20 as well as the federal highways B103, B105 and B110 are currently affected. Loud Baltic Sea newspaper Current traffic data from TomTom and other providers creates new traffic jam information every five minutes. Neubrandenburger Straße in Rostock is particularly challenging: it has been renovated in three sections since 2025. The southern area, which leads from the railway crossing to the Molkerei/Röthsoll residential area, is scheduled to start in February 2025 and will make driving a car a massive game of patience for around nine months.
Extensive renovation work
In addition to road construction, the connection route will be closed for months as part of the district heating supply by the municipal utility, which will further impact traffic. But that's not all: There is another construction site on the L39 between Kassebohm-Kiesgrube and Robert-Beltz-Weg. A full closure has been ordered here in both directions, which will remain in place from August 22nd to November 30th, 2025 verkehrslage.de reported.
The entire construction site situation brings with it a number of dangers. Drivers have to expect the risk of slipping, poor visibility and occasionally even wrong-way drivers. These risks should not be underestimated - especially in the transitional period when the weather is unstable.
Long-term projects in Rostock
There are also important new building projects coming up in Rostock. The Rennbahnallee at the zoo is being completely renovated, with demolition work on the bridge planned for autumn 2026. In addition, the Western Pomerania Bridge over the Warnow will be demolished and replaced by a new structure - this should happen within around 15 years.
All of these construction measures make it clear that drivers will be required to have a lot of patience. The road situation remains exciting and we will continue to monitor developments closely.
