Traffic chaos on Usedom: Full closure of the B111 brings vacationers in need!

Wolgast, Deutschland - The East German island of Usedom, known for its wonderful beaches and idyllic holiday resorts, faces a major challenge. As reports [moin.de] (https://www.moin.de/norddeutschland/ostseeusedom-stau-stau-pfingsten- Beliebten- ID300672984.html), the accessibility of the popular holiday island is significantly impaired.

In the coming week, specifically between June 17 and 20, 2025, federal road 111 near Wolgast will be locked at night from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. This measure affects the section between the postal crossing and the port. An important point: a half -sided blocking is not possible because the road widths are not sufficient to ensure both the safety of the construction site workers and the road users, so nordkurier.de.

diversions and traffic instructions

What does that mean for drivers? Travelers who are traveling towards Usedom have to expect diversions. In town, traffic is diverted via Werftstraße and Kronwiekstrasse. Back from Usedom, there are also alternative routes across the street on Fischmarkt, Bleichstraße, Wilhelmstraße, Baustraße and Robert-Koch-Straße. For trucks, the detour via the Zecererer Brücke, which is particularly important at night.

The construction work also depends on the weather, which can lead to possible delays. If the schedule is complied with, it could also be necessary in the night from June 21st to June 21st to continue the full closure if the work is not completed in good time.

The district road VG 44, which could act as a further diversion, remains closed until May, with the exception of the fire brigade, emergency services and school traffic. These road closures are part of a comprehensive investment of 171.1 million euros in road construction in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The planning states that important construction and renovation work is carried out on about 41 kilometers.

The demand for a relaxing vacation on Usedom remains high, but to make it easier to make travel, vacationers have to adjust to longer travel times and detours. A good knack for driving and a little patience are required in the coming weeks!
