Free travel on the K10: construction site in Krainhagen ends today!
The wait is over: The K10 in Krainhagen will be reopened to traffic today, July 17, 2025. After intensive renovation work that began in October of the previous year, the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport (NLSTBV) under the direction of Jens-Thilo Nietsch was able to confirm the reopening. The extensive milling and asphalting work as well as the repair of the gutters have been completed and the connection of a new rain retention basin to the sewer was also successfully carried out. Contrary to initial expectations, the costs of the renovation rose from 440,000 euros to around 500,000 euros, but the budget was still adhered to.
The construction work initially extended to the out-of-town part of the K10 before the in-town work followed. Markus Brockmann, the division manager of the NLSTBV in Hameln, said that there were no major problems during the entire work. This is pleasing to residents and commuters who have had to live with traffic restrictions for months.
Traffic restrictions and challenges
Although the K10 has now been released again, there are still certain restrictions in Obernkirchen. Further construction work and renovations, especially in the area of Forststrasse and Winternstrasse, can lead to slow traffic and temporary traffic jams until July 18, 2025, as the information from news.de shows. Motorists are asked to adapt to the changed conditions and pay attention to traffic control systems in order to navigate safely through the construction zones.
With a view to the future, the red-green state government of Lower Saxony is also taking action - as NDR reports. Investments in dilapidated roads and bridges are to be decided at an upcoming meeting. Transport Minister Grant Hendrik Tonne (SPD) sees a massive wave of construction sites on the horizon that could severely impact traffic in the coming years. This step is necessary because numerous bridges and roads in Lower Saxony are in a critical condition and urgently need to be renovated.
The release of the K10 in Krainhagen brings good news for many drivers, but further challenges can be expected on the country's roads. The patience of road users will be put to a severe test in the coming months. It remains to be hoped that the planned renovation projects will be implemented efficiently in order to improve the transport infrastructure and avoid long traffic jams.
