Angea fear on the Ascension weekend: Preparations for vacationers!

Berlin, Deutschland - The upcoming Ascension weekend leads to a significantly increased traffic volume on the motorways in Berlin and Brandenburg. Many people use the holiday on Thursday, May 30th, for short trips and excursions. Autobahn GmbH Nordost in particular warns of an additional burden on the streets. Traffic is expected to be close on Wednesday afternoon, May 28th and on Sunday afternoon, June 1st. Construction sites increase the risk of storage, including on the A10 between Phöben and Leest, on the Dreieck Potsdam, between Erkner and Berlin-Hellersdorf and on the A13 between Calau and Großräschen, where road users have to expect delays. [rbb24] reports that drivers should prepare well for the traffic situation.

In addition, the ADAC expects numerous traffic jams to Germany's highways during the extended weekend. Many travelers start their excursions on Wednesday, which causes traffic to rise particularly sharply between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. In many North and East German federal states, school is free of school on Friday, which leads to other short vacation. Even if there are no official school holidays in North Rhine-Westphalia on Friday, many students have a movable holiday day, which increases the number of travelers. Last year, the ADAC recorded 779 stores the day before Ascension Day. [RP-online] emphasizes that traffic is also affected by around 700 construction sites in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The burner highway is affected due to construction work in the area of ​​the Lueg Bridge, and the Inntal Autobahn and the Fernpass route also provide restrictions on the national through traffic on weekends.
