A1 full closure: bridge demolition between Vechta and Cloppenburg!
The A1 motorway between Vechta and Cloppenburg is facing a complete closure next weekend. Work begins on Friday, November 7th at 8 p.m. and ends on Monday, November 10th at 5 a.m. The reason for the restriction is the demolition of four bridges that date back to the 1960s and no longer meet current load requirements. This measure is part of a comprehensive renovation that the federal motorway company is planning for 2025 to renovate the bridges in the motorway network NDR.
Around 60 employees and 16 excavators will be used for the demolition work. Those responsible strive to carry out the work quickly and efficiently; The construction site covers a seven kilometer long section. In order to protect the road surface during the work, so-called “fall beds” made of sand are piled up. After demolition, workers plan to remove about 6,500 tons of broken concrete, which amounts to about 270 truckloads.
Detours and future plans
Specific diversion routes have been set up during the full closure. Drivers heading towards Bremen are asked to take the U13 from Vechta. If you are traveling towards Dortmund, you can take the U52 from Cloppenburg. These diversions are necessary to ensure safety on other roads and avoid traffic jams.
In the coming months, new bridges will be built at the demolition sites. Another full closure will probably be necessary in spring 2026 to install the new bridge parts. These measures demonstrate the increasing commitment to the maintenance and modernization of road infrastructure in the area of the motorway network to ensure safety and performance.
Apart from road construction, new technologies such as 3D printing are becoming increasingly popular and are being used in various areas, including industry. The technology represents an attractive option for transforming digital models into physical objects - a development that has the potential to revolutionize craft processes. An example of this innovation is Bambu Technology's printers, which have been in high demand in recent years and even set a global sales record in 2023, according to a report by Zhihu.
