Highway chaos in Bremen: Autumn holidays bring traffic jams and closures!
Autumn is in full swing, and with it the construction defects and traffic jams on the roads in Lower Saxony. Today, October 12, 2025, new construction work begins on the A1 and A270 motorways, which will cause a lot of excitement in the regional transport network. These planned measures coincide with the autumn holidays, which have already begun in both Lower Saxony and Bremen. Many commuters and travelers must prepare for closures and detours that will be active throughout the holiday season.
How buten and within reported, the Uphusen/Mahndorf junction on the A1 will be completely closed in order to carry out extensive construction work on Uphuser Heerstrasse. This work includes the complete renewal of the roadway. In addition, part of the road in the area of the Ihlpohler roundabout in Bremen-Nord is being repaired. The bus lines 740 and N74 also have to be rescheduled during this construction work, as the stops in Bremen will be eliminated during the entire construction period.
Traffic congestion during the holidays
A lot of traffic on the motorways is to be expected, especially during the autumn holidays. The schools in Lower Saxony and Bremen have just started the holidays, which traditionally leads to higher traffic volumes. How NDR announced that there were already long traffic jams last weekend, especially on the A7 and A1. So anyone planning to travel during this time should be patient and prepare for possible delays.
The ADAC has also warned that increased travel traffic is to be expected in the last week of the holidays. The connections between metropolitan areas are particularly affected when rush hour traffic meets tourist traffic. Traffic jam forecasts suggest that the A1, A7 and A29 are among the most congested routes in the north. In particular, the A1 between Dortmund and Bremen and on the A7 near Hildesheim are seen as problematic routes.
