Danger of traffic jams! A1 near Lotte: Construction site is causing traffic chaos starting today!
A look at the traffic situation around the A1 motorway in North Rhine-Westphalia shows that traffic restrictions must be expected today, October 13, 2025. The reason for this is construction work that is taking place between the Hasetal West rest area and the Lotte/Osnabrück intersection. The work begins today at 7:00 p.m. and lasts until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. During this time, the roadway will be narrowed to one lane and two right lanes will be closed, resulting in possible increased traffic volumes, delays and congestion. This reports [news.de](https://www.news.de/auto/859029121/verkehrsmelde-nw-lotte-steinfurt-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-bauste lle-from-13-10-2025-to-14-10-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-north-rhine-westphalia-danger-of-traffic-traffic-in-wersen-on-a1/1/).
The A1 is not only impressive because of its length of 748 km, but also because of its central role in Germany's transport network. As the third longest highway in the country, it crosses seven federal states and is an impressive 253 km in North Rhine-Westphalia. In this country, the A1 runs from Lotte to the vacant lot near Blankenheim and is particularly popular with drivers. There are eight rest stops along this route in North Rhine-Westphalia, an ideal destination for a short break during the journey.
Traffic overview and construction sites
Speaking of traffic jams: The main traffic jams in North Rhine-Westphalia can be found primarily at the Kamener Kreuz and in the urban areas of Dortmund, Cologne and Leverkusen. This information comes from stau-a1.de. There are currently other construction sites that are making the traffic situation worse, including the Liedbachtal bridge between Hagen and Unna and the Rhine bridge in Leverkusen. Road users should prepare for longer journey times.
But what about general traffic safety in North Rhine-Westphalia? The latest statistics show that a total of 79,601 police accidents were recorded in 2024, of which 62,741 accidents resulted in personal injury. The motorization rate is 589 cars per 1,000 inhabitants, while the number of vehicles is on average 706 per 1,000 inhabitants. This emerges from the current data from statistics.nrw. Mishaps in road traffic make it necessary to always be vigilant - especially in times of construction sites and increased traffic volumes.
The work on the A1 is not only a contribution to traffic safety and improved infrastructure, but also requires patience from all road users. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop after the construction work. Drivers should do their research and consider alternative routes if necessary to avoid stress and delays.
