Construction site chaos in Braunschweig: Hamburger Straße makes car driving heavy!

Hamburger Straße, 38100 Braunschweig, Deutschland - Driving in Braunschweig has not just turned out to be a pleasure in the past few weeks. Numerous construction sites hinder mobility and ensure several backlogs. In a recent survey by News38

The results are clear: The greatest nerve killing is currently the construction site on Hamburger Straße. A section of the channels is being renovated here, and the work should last until the end of the year. For road users who want to north, there is a detour via Schmalbachstrasse to avoid traffic jams. Helmstedter Straße ends up in second place in the most annoying construction sites, the construction work of which is expected to be completed in the next week.

Current construction sites at a glance

But Hamburger and Helmstedter Straße are far from the only problem areas. The city also laid a hand in other places:

• Bienroder Weg: blocked between Brucknerstraße and Gotenweg until 20.12.2026.
• Bültenweg: also blocked between Brucknerstrasse and Gotenweg until 20.12.2026.
• Theodor-Heuss-Straße: blocked at Frankfurter Straße until July 21, 2025.
• Wilhelmstraße: Construction site until 17.08.2025, blocked between Schleinitzstraße and Wendenstraße.
• Siegfriedstraße: changed traffic management until 13.08.2025.

The city administration deliberately laid the construction work on the summer vacation in order to keep the impairments for traffic as low as possible, as there is less going on during this time. This is certainly a clever move, even if many citizens express criticism on Facebook, since they wish that not all construction sites are carried out at the same time.
