A2 at Peine: Full closure to truck fire is lifted today!

Peine, Deutschland - The traffic Situation on the A2 at Peine has relaxed again since this morning, July 4, 2025. As Autobahn GmbH announced in a press release, the full closure in the direction of Dortmund will be lifted around 9.30 a.m. This is good news for all road users who were affected by considerable restrictions these days. Now more traffic can roll again, but the main lanes and the parallel lane between the Peine-Ost and Peine junctions remain closed to renovation work, which is temporarily tense.

Background of the blocking was the dramatic events on Wednesday when a truck loaded with dangerous goods opened in flames. The fire brigade was on site with 120 emergency services because the fire developed extreme temperatures, which also severely damaged the noise barrier. Fortunately, there were no injuries, but the extinguishing work was difficult - the vehicle transported auto parts such as batteries and airbags, among other things, that further heated up the fire. The repairs on the state road are expected to continue until Saturday morning. The removal of the damage is made more difficult by the fact that asbestos is installed in the noise barrier, which also makes the entire situation complicated. Drivers were even supplied with drinks during the traffic jams, which the patience of everyone relieved.

diversions and the dangerous goods regulations

In addition to the current situation, it is evident that the traffic safety situation in Germany is an ongoing topic that stimulates constant training in road construction and in traffic education. Such incidents impressively show how important preventive measures and a well -founded transport policy are. The statistics not only enable precise accident risk analyzes, but also create the basis for future -oriented traffic safety strategies.

In summary, it should be noted that more movement on the A2 is possible again this morning, while the repairs on the damaged road sections will take a few more days. We wish all road users a safe onward journey!
