Traffic chaos on the A39: Winsen-Ost closed until September!
Car drivers traveling in the Lower Saxony region should prepare for a few challenging weeks. Since July 8, 2025, there have been extensive construction sites along the A39 between Hamburg and Lüneburg, which will cause traffic disruptions up to and including September 20, 2025. The Winsen-Ost entrance is completely closed due to the construction work, which can lead to slow traffic and temporary traffic jams, especially during rush hour.

These measures will last until June 2026 and affect both the direction of Salzgitter and the opposite direction. Drivers are well advised to plan alternative routes.
Traffic management and innovative solutions
To help the drivers in dispute, the Lower Saxony Traffic Management Center (VMZ) has adopted new ways to efficiently provide traffic information. The VMZ information portal not only offers current construction site information, but also new dynamic vehicle data that is analyzed in real time. The NUNAV app, which is based on digital traffic routing data, promises to give users individual routing recommendations in order to guide travelers to their destination with as little congestion as possible, especially at peak times and during major events. This app is available for free in the AppStore and Google Play Store and places great emphasis on data protection as no user identification is required. Further information can be found on the VMZ website: vmz-niedersachsen.de.
With such technological advances, the VMZ has shown a good knack for not only minimizing traffic jams, but also making an important contribution to reducing emissions. In the future, these digital solutions could significantly improve the traffic situation in Lower Saxony and throughout the state.
In the meantime, all road users are well advised to check the current information regularly and, if necessary, adjust their routes in order to reach their destination without stress.
