Marlow-Dettmannsdorf: New traffic measures bring relief!

Marlow-Dettmannsdorf: New traffic measures bring relief!

In a current situation that affects residents of the L18 road between Marlow and Dettmannsdorf, there is now hope for an improvement. On June 25, 2025, Mr. Müller turned to District Administrator Dr. Kerth because of the ongoing full closure, which represents a significant burden for the affected residents. Müller asked for alternatives to be examined, such as a partial closure. The district administrator then commissioned a comprehensive response to Müller's concerns, and an on-site inspection of the construction site took place on June 24th, during which the situation was examined in detail by the responsible authorities. These discussions could help to improve the living situation for the affected citizens, as openpetition.de reports.

After the investigation, the Vorpommern-Rügen district decided to continue the current full closure until July 4, 2025 in order to complete the necessary work. But there is light at the end of the tunnel: instead of a permanent full closure, several shorter closures will be necessary in the coming months. These shorter full closures are intended to ensure that half of the road remains passable between these times. The compromise offered by the authorities is intended as a solution for all parties.

Impacts and riparian rights

Such road closures can pose a significant restriction for residents. They not only affect access to your own property, but also everyday errands and the way to work. Resident rights play a central role here, as the Herfurtner Law Firm explains. These are based on the road traffic regulations and state road laws and grant affected citizens rights ranging from information about planned work to possible alternative routes.

It is important that residents find out about the duration and diversions and actively participate in the dialogue with the responsible authorities. If there are difficulties with access, residents have the right to information, to be heard and also to lodge a complaint. An open exchange with those responsible can not only clarify questions, but also prevent potential legal disputes.

Current construction sites and traffic information

But road construction work is not only underway in Marlow and Dettmannsdorf. There will also be numerous construction sites on the motorways and country roads throughout Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania from June 26, 2025. The construction site list from strassen-mv.de shows that extensive road repairs are planned on the A11, A14 and A20. This work is carried out to maintain the value of the infrastructure and often requires temporary closures and diversions.

The residents will have a lot to expect in the next few months, both in terms of restoring the quality of the roads and the necessary respect for their rights. The authorities' ongoing discussions and decisions could have a decisive impact on the quality of life of residents in Marlow and Dettmannsdorf. One thing is certain: the discussion about better connections and the consideration of residents' rights remains current and will continue to be followed by the citizens concerned.
