A2 complete closure near Helmstedt: construction site causes chaos on Sunday!
On June 15, 2025, there were significant traffic disruptions on the A2 in the Helmstedt district. The motorway was completely closed in both directions between Königslutter and Rennau. The reason for this was work on a high-voltage line that had to be laid across the motorway. This measure affected the directions to both Berlin and Hanover and ensured that traffic was diverted across the board.
For drivers heading towards Dortmund, the U4 was designated as a diversion route from Rennau, while those heading towards Berlin had to use the U43 from Königslutter. The situation was particularly unfortunate because the entrance from the Uhry car park onto the A2 towards Berlin was also closed, which further tightened the diversion measures. Such measures are not uncommon, and as ndr.de reports, the work will continue in two weeks, which could lead to closures again.
Current traffic situation and construction sites
Another important piece of information for travelers on the A2 came from the website stau.info. On the same day at 10:43 a.m. it was reported that the construction work between Königslutter and Rennau had been completed and the motorway had been reopened to traffic. The driveway in Königslutter was also available again at this point and the previous closures were lifted. This means that drivers were finally able to continue driving again without any significant restrictions. However, there were still isolated disruptions everywhere on the A2, for example between Vlotho-West and Bad Oeynhausen junction, where an accident was reported.
It is becoming increasingly easier for travelers to find their way around the roads. The interactive dashboard from autobahn.de, which comprehensively displays the current traffic situation, offers a constantly updated overview of the situation on German motorways. With information about longest traffic jams, current construction sites and traffic disruptions, it supports drivers in planning their journey and enables quick reactions to unforeseeable events, as autobahn.de informs.
It remains to be hoped that the upcoming work will go smoothly so that the A2 motorway can be worked on unhindered again and no further closures are necessary. If you want to find out about the current traffic situation, you should regularly consult the sources mentioned so that you are well prepared when you hit the road.
