Uphuser Heerstraße: Complete closure due to asphalt renovation until October 24th!

Uphuser Heerstraße (L 158) will remain closed to traffic during the autumn holidays until October 24th. The reason for the complete closure is fundamental renovation work that began on October 13th. According to the District newspaper On Monday, an asphalt milling machine began removing around 400 meters of the old asphalt surface. The construction manager Maik Bergmann from Johann Bunte Bauunternehmung is monitoring the work.

After the old asphalt has been removed, a pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied that makes the surface impassable for four to six hours. Motor vehicle traffic is completely closed between Uphusen and Mahndorf, and the motorway entrances to the A1 are also not accessible. However, there is good news for cyclists and pedestrians: the footpath and cycle path along Uphuser Heerstraße will remain accessible during the renovation work.

Detours and impact on traffic

The Verden/Osterholz police station reports smooth operations and less traffic due to the autumn holidays. A diversion for motorized traffic is signposted via Uphusen - Achim - Embsen - Oyten in the direction of Bremen. The diversion route takes the L 158 towards Achim and continues through Embsen to Oyten, where it then takes the L 168 towards Bremen.

Anyone who uses public transport must be patient: bus services on lines 740 and N74 are severely restricted during the measure. All Bremen stops have been eliminated, the buses in Achim start from the hospital stop and stop at Achim train station, while Mahndorf train station remains accessible by train. Current information on diversions can be accessed via the FahrPlaner app. The measure was deliberately planned during the autumn break so as not to disrupt school bus traffic.

Important step for the infrastructure

This should avoid overlaps with other construction sites, such as on the side of the Lower Saxony road construction is to be read.
