Traffic and diversions: Usedom difficult to reach due to construction work!

Wolgast, Deutschland - Usedom, the popular Baltic Sea island, has established itself as a popular destination for vacationers in recent years. The idyllic beaches and charming holiday resorts attract many, but this season travelers have to deal with some traffic disruptions. On June 16, 2025, the topic is clear: construction sites are part of the summer, and the current situation could affect visitors.

from Tuesday, June 17th to Friday, June 20, night closure of federal road 111 near Wolgast. This period should keep an eye on vacationers, because the disabilities should not be underestimated. The construction work to renew the road surface between the postal crossing and the intersection to the port not only affect through traffic. In the nights between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. there is a comprehensive blocking, which causes diversions in urban areas. Drivers in the direction of Usedom are led via Werftstraße and Kronwiekstrasse, while traffic from the island via urban streets such as Robert-Koch-Straße is led.

detours and restrictions

The journey is particularly challenging for trucks. These have to dodge through the Zecerer bridge to get to the desired destination. This measure is necessary because for safety reasons a half -sided blocking is not possible. The construction work not only creates inconvenience, but also aim to improve road conditions in the long term and thus facilitate traveling on the island and beyond.

Weather conditions could have an impact on the schedule. If the planned work is not completed in the agreed nights, the full closure on Friday evening, June 20, the night of Saturday, June 21, could be extended. Travelers are therefore advised to find out about alternative routes in good time and to plan enough time.

long -term infrastructure planning

The current construction measures open a larger picture that goes beyond the island of Usedom. The BUND for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany (BUND) addresses the need to rethink federal traffic planning. In a new federal traffic and mobility plan 2040, paths are to be found to make mobility sustainable and also take into account the concerns of climate protection. This could also have positive effects on the infrastructure around Usedom in the future.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the regional traffic situation will develop. The coming days are demanding flexibility and sensitivity to be able to enjoy the amenities of Usedom's beaches and attractions despite the detours.
