Complete closure of the B494 and B65: massive traffic disruptions from July!

There will soon be some changes to the roads in the Hanover region that are important for road users. From Thursday, July 3, 2025, there will be a complete closure of federal highways 494 and 65, from Rosenthal to behind the junction to Handorf (K 31). Loud regionalheute.de The measure is expected to be completed by the end of July 2025, although weather-related delays cannot be ruled out.

A clear plan has been drawn up to reroute traffic. Traffic from the B 65 heading south is routed via Groß Solschen and the district road 72 to Groß Ilsede before reaching Peine via the B 444 and B 65. Traffic in the opposite direction is rerouted in the same way. Road users from the north must also note that from the B 444 they will be routed via the L 412 to Peine-Vöhrum.

Adendorf town transit in focus

But it's not just these road works that cast their shadows ahead. From July 3, 2025, the Adendorf thoroughfare will also be completely closed, as is the case Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport reported. Measures to completely renew the B 209 are being carried out there. These are necessary because the existing roadway has serious damage right down to the base layers.

The work will be organized in four construction phases, which will last until the beginning of December 2025. These measures include not only the renewal of the roadway, but also the sidewalks and cycle paths as well as the repair of the stormwater drains. In addition, the intersections will be rebuilt in accordance with current guidelines, including the adjustment of the traffic lights. In order to keep traffic disruptions as low as possible, there is close cooperation with the municipality of Adendorf and the Elbmarsch water procurement association.

Redirection instructions

The construction project represents a challenge for traffic. There are diversions for trucks via the A 39, B 404 and B 5 to Lauenburg. Regional road users must avoid Bockelmannstrasse, Erbstorfer Landstrasse and K 53 to Adendorf. Cyclists can use the inner-city diversion via Bardowicker Weg, Röthenweg, Weinbergsweg and Bültenweg.

The entire construction project is estimated to cost around 3.5 million euros and is also financed by the Federal Republic of Germany. Residents and road users are urged to be patient during this time. The relevant information can be found on the websites of the relevant authorities.

Focus on transport networks

These measures are in the context of the Federal Transport Infrastructure Plan 2030, which represents a central instrument for federal transport infrastructure planning. The plan includes both existing networks as well as expansion and new construction projects in various transport systems and aims to eliminate bottlenecks and maintain existing networks. Around 141.6 billion euros are earmarked for these measures by 2030, as shown bmv.de is to be read.

In conclusion, although this work may cause short-term inconveniences, in the long term it will contribute to a positive development of the region's transport infrastructure. It will be interesting to see what the situation will look like once the measures have been completed.
