Traffic chaos on the A1: road renewal causes massive traffic jams!

There are currently significant traffic restrictions on the A1 in Lower Saxony, especially in the Bühren and Bakum area.

Increase in traffic jams in Lower Saxony

The current traffic disruptions are part of a larger trend that can be observed in Lower Saxony. According to vmz-niedersachsen, a total of 3,267 traffic jam events were registered in 2024, which means an increase of 14.7% compared to the previous year. The total length of the traffic jams was 15,710 km.

The main causes of the traffic jams are mainly construction sites and accidents - a circumstance that is reflected in the current situation on the A1. It is recommended to check the traffic situation before traveling and to follow recommended detours in the event of longer traffic jams.

Also worth reporting are the peaks in susceptibility to traffic jams, which occur particularly on public holidays and during holiday periods. A healthy traffic mix between a constant traffic flow and targeted construction sites is desired for the coming days so that travelers can reach their destination without any worries.

Given the upcoming construction sites and current traffic reports, it is advisable to keep a close eye on the route and remain flexible. In any case, keep an overview!
