New traffic flow in Kassel: South tangent open again from Saturday!

From this weekend, March 8, 2025, traffic on the Kassel Südtangente will be released again in both directions. This means the end of an almost two -year closure towards Marburg, which was diverted as a one -way street. According to Hessen News , the reopening was planned more than three more than originally, which was due to delay in the renovation of the road, a bridge and the guidelines is.

The delays were created in particular through additional work on the protective devices, which offer higher reserves and thus increase safety in the area of ​​the highway. These weather-dependent work are carried out according to Autobahn.de also in the winter months.

completion of the A49

The remaining work on the A44 and A7 near Kassel is expected to be completed within the next two weeks. The construction site markings are also dismantled on three motorway junctions and replaced by new white markings. Changes in traffic routing could therefore occur daily. With the complete completion of the A49, a decline in creep traffic by the Oberzwehren district is expected, which could significantly improve the quality of life of the residents. This information also comes from the Hessen News.

The planning and implementation of the work also included extensive repair work on the Nürnberger Straße underpass, in which the old building was torn down and a new one was built. Concrete work for the new lane plate has already been completed, while the following work such as seals and asphaltings are weather -dependent and have not yet been finalized. The assembly of the large signage should be completed in December 2025, as Autobahn.de confirms.

traffic statistics and future outlook

The developments related to the A49 are in the context of general traffic statistics, which the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport provides in its publication "Transport in Numbers" (VIZ). This standard work has been published annually for over 50 years and contains comprehensive data on mobility, transport infrastructure and accident statistics that are important for the planning of future traffic projects. Information on these statistics can be found on the website of the BMDV at BMDV .

Overall, the progress in the construction of the A49 and the associated improvements in traffic are a positive development for the region and at the same time signals the importance of safe traffic routes for mobility in Germany.
