A39 expansion: Laue demands quick action by the state government!

Lüneburg, Deutschland - In the past few weeks, the discussion about expanding the A39 motorway has been in full swing. The CDU member of the state parliament in Lena-Sophie Laue in particular puts pressure on the state government in order not to tolerate the standstill during construction. Current information that has published the Celler Presse Ehra and Wolfsburg the start of construction is a long way off. Laue criticizes the long planning approval procedures that have been going on for years.

In the entire section between Lüneburg and Wolfsburg, there is still no construction start. Either the necessary legally binding permits are missing, or complaints prevent progress. The CDU demands that the state of Lower Saxony, as the responsible planning approval authority, are now finally becoming more active and the existing possibilities exploits.

urgent need for commuters and companies

The expansion of the A39 is not only a question of traffic, but also a significant challenge for the economic future of the region. Commuters and companies rely on a well -developed infrastructure in order to be able to process their business efficiently. "The annoyed citizens in my constituencies speak a clear language," reports Laue and demands more political commitment to implement the projects.

A planning approval decision is available for the first construction phase near Lüneburg, which is complained about, but is legally valid. Laue suggests initiating an immediate enforcement procedure, similar to the one that was used in 2019 at the Celle (B3) bypass. This could significantly speed up the process.

Overview of the planning of the A39

The A39 extends over a length of approx. 105 km and is of enormous importance for the region. The planned positions of the Lower Saxony State Authority Have already extended the planning approval application for the new construction of section 6 of the A39, which begins at Wittingen and ends north of Ehra. In total, many aspects have been included in the planning, from the bypass of Eutzens to two venison.

The construction phase has a length of around 18.1 km. The planning approval procedure was initiated in April 2018, but the Covid 19 pandemic also moved in here and caused delays. After the discussion date canceled, an online consultation took place. 66 statements have been entered here, which mainly relate to environmental issues, noise emissions and the overall concept of the A39.

The citizens of the region expect the state government that it finally sets clear priorities and that trust in political commitments does not play further. The exchange between residents and government agencies should be made more transparent in order to take people's concerns seriously. Laue and other CDU MPs are ready to work in the state parliament for a rapid expansion.

Overall, it remains to be seen whether the state of Lower Saxony can raise the necessary dynamics in order to drive the expansion of the A39 and to improve the region's infrastructure.
