Bütlingen in a traffic jam: construction work causes bus cancellations and diversions!
The construction work in Bütlingen is causing significant changes to local public transport. Loud landkreis-harburg.de The bridge over the Alte Ilau is currently being renovated, while at the same time the carriageway on district road 76 between Bütlingen and Tespe is being renewed. These traffic measures took advantage of the fact that bus lines 5405 cannot serve all stops during the construction period.
In the period from July 3rd to August 13th, line 5405 will only run between Bütlingen, Im Briggen and Lüneburg. The stops in Marschacht, Tespe and partly in Bütlingen are therefore not accessible. There are alternative options for passengers who live in these areas: Line 4400 runs from Marschacht to Avendorf and can be used by travelers.
Affected stops
For all those affected by the construction work, here is an overview of the stops on line 5405 that are no longer served:
- Bütlingen: Im Rehmen
- Tespe: Grüner Jäger, Avendorfer Weg (Süd), Eichenallee, Avendorfer Weg, An Storchennest, Blumenstraße, Schule, Schulstraße, Twiete, Niedersachsenring, Westerfeld
- Obermarschacht: Herrenweg, Brackweg, Gutsweg
- Niedermarschacht: Grundschule (Kehre), Grundschule, Hagenweg, Ernst-Reinstorf-Schule
However, the connection with elbMOBIL remains unchanged for passengers from Bütlingen. Current information and timetables for the construction sites can be found on the websites kvg-bus.de and hvv.de.
Construction work and transport infrastructure
The construction work in Bütlingen is only part of a larger renovation program that Deutsche Bahn will implement from August 2025. This extensive renovation affects important railway lines in Germany, including the very busy connection between Berlin and Hamburg. Bahndampf.de reports that the work will last until April 2026 and 28 transport stations will also be modernized.
Such measures are necessary to transform the rail network into a high-performance network. Over 4,000 kilometers are planned for general renovation with the aim of significantly reducing operational disruptions and improving travel quality. This also has an impact on regional transport companies, which are repeatedly confronted with challenges caused by delays and diversions. It therefore remains to be seen how these changes will affect local traffic in the long term.
It is advisable for residents and travelers in Bütlingen and the surrounding area to find out about the current traffic changes and, if necessary, switch to alternative routes in order to stay mobile. Mobility in the region will ultimately be improved by such renovation projects, even if they cause inconveniences.
