Truck fire on A2 with Peine: full closure awaited by Friday!
Truck fire on A2 with Peine: full closure awaited by Friday!
Again, a fire on a truck ensures massive restrictions on the A2 motorway: On Wednesday afternoon, July 3, 2025, a tractor -trailer on the route at Peine in the direction of Hanover was on fire. This incident led to a complete blocking of the street section until Friday, while the fire brigade was employed with extinguishing work and rescue work. The affected connection points Peine-Ost and Peine are currently unavailable.
The truck, the auto parts, including batteries and airbags, transported, was just behind Peine-Ost in full fire. Fortunately, there were no injuries because the driver could switch to the stand in good time and decoupled his vehicle. As already reported ndr.de, the increased asphalt temperature was suspected as a possible cause. The extinguishing work was lengthy, which is why around 120 emergency services from the Peine volunteer fire brigade were on site and temporarily helped the road users in traffic jams.

With the beginning of the Lower Saxony summer vacation on Thursday, the traffic Situation in the region could become even more complicated. Because the salvage work has not yet been completed. "The entire vehicle burned out," said the random course, and the asphalt must also be renovated after the fire. However, the exact duration of this work remains unclear, i.e. drivers are urgently advised to bypass the area and to follow the signs on the A2 and A39.
In many cases, those affected on social media complained about hours of traffic jams that already extended to about 14 kilometers. As in previous incidents, for example in May, when a similar incident concerned the A2, immediate measures had to be taken here to get the traffic situation under control again. In an earlier fire in May, the road was closed after salvage work until late afternoon, which shows that such events can quickly lead to chaotic conditions. In addition, the fire brigade has announced that LED plates will be set up at the Wolfsburg Königslutter junction to warn drivers in good time.
The circumstances show how quickly situations can travel on motorways. The drivers are encouraged to be patient and observe the situation. It is to be hoped that the necessary measures will be implemented quickly and successfully so that everyone will get to the destination safely and quickly.
