Traffic chaos in Schwerin: Construction work and festivities ensure traffic jams!

road users in Cologne will have to prepare for some restrictions in the coming weeks. The reason is extensive construction work and an important major event that will influence the traffic flows in the urban area. On July 14, 2025, the renovation work on the sidewalk of the obotrite ring begins, specifically from the intersection with Wittenburger Straße. This measure is scheduled until August 22, 2025 and will go hand in hand with considerable traffic disruptions. At around 30 meters, only one lane will be available for the city that is available, which is why the city asks all road users to bypass the area and plan enough time. Also Schwerin-lokal.de reports on the challenges to be expected by these construction work.

In addition to the construction sites, temporary road closures will be necessary for the Stadtwerke beach festival on July 12th and 13th. Here are the Bosselmannstraße and the old village street, starting from the access to the Residenz Zippendorf car park, on July 12th from 10 a.m. to midnight and on July 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will also be restrictions on the Crivitzer Chaussee: the right lane in the city is released between Plater Strasse and the Green Valley as a parking area and can therefore only be used to a limited extent.

construction work in the Brinkum town center

Another example of traffic impairments due to construction work can be found in the Brinkum town center. There the preparations for the new stop at the market square are progressing. As of September 6th, the asphalting begins, which will make Syker Straße in the direction of Bremer Straße the one -way street. Road users who are traveling towards the roundabout on Leester Straße must dodge via Bassumer Straße and the bypass. Temporary bans and construction site redirections have been set up, and pedestrians and cyclists are also guided past construction sites. Unfortunately, bus traffic will also be affected, since some stops cannot be operated during the construction period, such as weser-kurier.de reported.

In today's world, it is crucial to analyze mobility data and traffic statistics carefully and to carry out current surveys. This information not only helps with the planning and implementation of construction projects, but also help to improve the transport infrastructure. The Federal Ministry of Transport regularly publishes statistics that are important for the federal, state and municipalities. Statistics such as "Transport in Numbers" and the EU-wide publication "EU Transport in Figures-Statistical PocketBook" are central resources for the assessment of the traffic situation and its development, as on research information system.de.

It is obvious that road construction and events in urban areas always represent a challenge. Citizens should inform themselves at an early stage and consider public transport to find stress -free ways and to avoid delays.
