Construction site chaos on the A1: Vechta has to use diversions from today!
In the Vechta district, traffic disruptions on the A1 have been expected since June 13, 2025. The reason for this is construction site work that will last until June 16, 2025. [news.de reports that …](https://www.news.de/auto/858694846/verkehrsmelde-bakum-landkreis-vechta-auf-a1-essener-strasse-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen -construction-site-with-closure-from-13-06-2025-to-16-06-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-danger-of-congestion-in-lower-saxony-zip-code-49456/1/)
The work, which is being carried out on the A1 near Bakum near Essener Straße, begins daily at 10:00 p.m. and ends at 5:00 a.m. on the morning of June 16th. The Vechta exit is also affected, and will be closed during this time. Drivers are therefore advised to pay close attention to the diversion signs in order to avoid possible traffic jams. Traffic flows can be slow, especially during rush hour.
Traffic forecasts and other measures
As verkehrsinformation.de notes, such restrictions are not uncommon on the A1, which stretches from Hamburg to the Ruhr area. Increased traffic volumes often have to be expected, especially in the summer months. The construction work in Lower Saxony can have a negative impact on the traffic situation, as has already been confirmed by past projects. It is therefore important to find out about alternative routes.
In addition, kfz.net points out that the condition of Lower Saxony's roads is generally good, but traffic jams can often be expected at peak times and during holidays. The A1 between Hamburg and Bremen in particular is a frequent junction.
Anyone planning to use the A1 motorway should be patient. The ongoing bridge work is part of extensive renovation work that not only serves the infrastructure, but also the safety of road users. If you are traveling on the weekend or in the evenings, you should keep the situation in mind and be prepared to allow a little more time.
Finally, it is recommended to regularly check the announced diversions and the current traffic situation to ensure a smooth traffic flow and avoid unpleasant surprises during the journey.
