Important A1 junction in Bremen-Mahndorf closed from Monday!
There will be an important change in traffic volumes in Bremen from Monday, October 13th. The Uphusen/Bremen-Mahndorf junction on the A1 will probably be completely closed until Friday, October 24th. The reason for this measure is extensive work on Uphuser Heerstrasse, which requires a thorough renewal of the roadway. During this time, all entrances and exits to the junction cannot be used. Road users are asked to use alternative junctions such as Bremen-Hemelingen, Bremen-Sebaldsbrück, Oyten or Achim-Nord. The diversions begin directly at the Uphusen/Bremen-Mahndorf motorway entrance and are clearly signposted.
The diversion route leads via the L158 in the direction of Achim, then on the L167 (Zum Achimer Bahnhof) through Embsen to Oyten and finally on the L168 in the direction of Bremen. These measures were deliberately taken during the autumn break so as not to affect school bus traffic. However, the bus lines 740 and N74 are severely restricted; All stops in Bremen will be eliminated, while the buses in Achim start at the hospital and stop at Achim train station before continuing towards Verden. Passengers are strongly advised to use the FahrPlaner app for up-to-date route information to avoid unpleasant surprises. Mahndorf train station can also be reached by train from Achim.
Extensive road inspection
Parallel to the closure, Autobahn GmbH will carry out maintenance work in the region. This includes replacing damaged concrete slabs and refreshing road markings. Particularly interesting: The replacement of the concrete slabs mainly takes place in the evening and night, while the marking work is scheduled during the day, after the morning rush hour. A temporary closure of the main lane of the A1 is also planned for the second week of the closure, from October 20th to 24th, although this could be influenced by the weather.
The renovation of state road 158 in the area of the Uphusen/Mahndorf motorway junction is another central aspect. This will also get rolling on October 13th with the aim of thoroughly renewing the roadway. In order to ensure the safety of all road users, a full closure is necessary until October 24th, as this work requires compliance with occupational safety guidelines, such as minimum widths and distances.
The diversion route was decided in close consultation with concerned authorities, including police and traffic authorities. A quick reaction to current traffic conditions is crucial here. In order to ensure smooth traffic routing, the diversion signs will also be adapted for regional traffic on classified roads. Even if the maintenance work is necessary, the traffic authorities ask for patience and understanding. Ultimately, it is in all of our interests to keep road conditions safe and reliable.
The footpath and cycle path remains closed to all users affected by the closure, although it remains usable for pedestrians, e-scooters and cyclists. A balanced transport system that respects both vehicular traffic and opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists is of great importance to the city.
Information and current traffic conditions are below District newspaper and Lower Saxony road construction to find. Furthermore, it lasts Traffic situation.de keeps users up to date on other construction sites and diversions in the state.
