Beware, drivers! Massive traffic jams and construction sites in Rostock!

Rostock, Deutschland - in Rostock and the surrounding area there are currently considerable traffic restrictions. Today, July 23, 2025, not only brings a variety of construction sites, but also current traffic jams on the important traffic axes. The A19 and A20 motorways as well as the federal highways B103, B105 and B110 are particularly affected. The Baltic Sea newspaper reports that drivers on the E55 between Am Warnowkai and Peez have to expect a traffic jam of around 0.3 km, which means an additional three minutes of travel.

The live card from Stummeder shows that where there was a free journey before, a lot has changed today. Green means free streets, but orange and red show dense traffic and stem. The traffic jam, especially on the E55, is no coincidence.

construction sites and renovations

Numerous construction sites contribute significantly to the situation. From 2025, the Neubrandenburger Straße in Rostock will be renovated in three sections, which results in massive restrictions for drivers. The southern section could begin with its renovation in February 2025, and a period of about nine months is already planned. There are also blocks for a long time in connection with the district heating supply of the municipal utility company.

The demolition of the bridge in the racetrack avenue at the zoo, which is planned for autumn 2026, is particularly explosive. In addition, the Vorpommern bridge (L 22) is demolished via Warnow and replaced by a new one, which can take a period of about 15 years. Such construction projects are not only lengthy, they also lead to a traffic volume that often puts the patience of drivers to the test.

traffic monitoring in real time

To keep an eye on the traffic situation, providers such as traffic jams with TomTom and other services such as Google Maps and Apple have important tools at hand. These services use GPS data from millions of devices as well as automatic information from around 80 million mobile phone devices and road sensors. The data is updated all five minutes to inform users about current traffic conditions. The system is therefore well positioned to point out traffic jams and closures in good time.

Currently there are also some more closures, including the K12 between B103 and Wilsener Straße, which, however, does not have a loss of time with a length of 0.7 km. These closures are often at short notice and offer drivers with little delays. Nevertheless, it is advisable to find out in advance to avoid unpleasant surprises.
