Traffic chaos on the A7: closure in Goslar until June 15th!
Drivers may currently have to be a little patient on the A7 motorway in the Goslar district. From today, June 13th, 2025, until June 15th, 2025, part of the A7 between Rhüden/Harz and Seesen/Harz will be completely closed due to urgently needed roadway replacements. The Lower Saxony traffic management center has already warned that increased traffic volumes and the resulting traffic jams are to be expected during this period, especially between 6:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. the following morning news.de reported.
To make it easier for drivers to get around, official diversion routes have already been set. For through traffic in both directions, it is recommended to use the large-scale diversion via the A1, A21 and B205 motorways. This measure is intended to help maintain traffic flow during construction work.
More construction sites and traffic disruptions
There are currently construction sites not only on the A7, other motorway sections in Lower Saxony are also affected. According to information from verkehrsinformation.de The A7 carriageway between Hamburg-Stellingen (26) and Hamburg-Heimfeld (32) will be completely closed from 10:00 p.m. this evening until 5:00 a.m. on June 16, 2025. This 55-hour weekend closure also affects the junctions, which can no longer be accessed from 9 p.m.
Drivers traveling towards Hamburg or Hanover should exercise particular caution. A detour is possible via the diversion routes mentioned, but all road users should prepare for increased travel times. Passage in this area is not possible, particularly for large-capacity and heavy-duty transport, which makes additional planning necessary.
Latest traffic news
Aside from the construction sites, there are also traffic disruptions in other parts of Lower Saxony. How stau.info reports that there is a danger from people on the road between Evendorf and Egestorf on the A7. There are also currently obstacles in the form of objects on the road on the A31 between Meppen and Lingen (Ems). Drivers should always keep themselves informed about the current traffic situation and, if necessary, consider alternative routes.
The coming days will therefore be characterized by many challenges on the roads. Drivers in the region are well advised to prepare for diversions and closures in good time in order to minimize their travel pressure and reach their destination safely.
