A1 between Vechta and Cloppenburg: Important blocking on weekends!

A1 between Vechta and Cloppenburg: Important blocking on weekends!

At the weekend there is an important reason for carers in Northern Germany: The section of the A1 between Vechta and Cloppenburg will be completely closed from Friday, June 13th, at 10 p.m. to Monday, June 16, at 5 a.m. due to extensive construction work. The background for this measure is the dismantling of two transfer structures. This could lead to considerable detours for many commuters and travelers, as reported.

For drivers who are traveling towards Bremen, the following detection rule applies: from Vechta, the U13 is diverted. However, if you want to drive towards Dortmund, you should switch to the U52 from Cloppenburg. An overview of the diversions could help reduce the anger about traffic jams and delays.

Important information on the blocking

As it looks on the streets, drivers can also clarify via the ADAC Maps platform, which shows current traffic information in real time and construction sites. The ADAC Maps also offers forecasts for traffic situations and can optimize travel times so that you can reluctantly avoid traffic jams.

handling of traffic disorders

We have recently seen how unforeseen closures can affect travel on the A1 through events such as bomb finds from the Second World War. An example: In October 2017, the motorway in Leverkusen was temporarily blocked for construction work and to secure a possible bomb. These closures were also associated with extensive diversions and increased traffic volume, which shows that such measures often represent more than just a small inconvenience. In this context, too, it was important to use Park-Ride parking spaces and public transport, which often offer a useful alternative during these construction sites, as was then from CityNews recommended.

So if you want to travel via the A1 this weekend, you should prepare well and plan enough time for the detours. Stay informed and safely on the streets!
