Closure on the A29: Danger of traffic jams between Wilhelmshaven and Oldenburg!

Today, August 13, 2025, significant traffic restrictions are expected in Lower Saxony. There will be a closure on the A29 motorway that will last from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The measures are necessary to carry out a guardrail renewal, it is reported news.de.

The section from Wilhelmshaven towards Oldenburg is affected, and the Fedderwarden exit will remain closed during the work. Road users have to prepare for increased traffic, which is why temporary traffic jams cannot be ruled out. Diversions have been set up so that travelers can still reach their destination.

More construction sites on the A29

verkehrslage.de sind auch zwischen Varel/Bockhorn und Zetel die Fahrbahnen auf einen Fahrstreifen verengt. Das gilt in beiden Richtungen, jeweils aufgrund von Brückenarbeiten, die bis zum 31. Dezember 2027 andauern sollen.

Another relevant construction site area is between the intersection of Oldenburg-Ost and Oldenburg-Ohmstede. A reduction in the road width to 3.50 m is also to be expected here, which further complicates the situation. This work is planned until December 16, 2025.

Traffic statistics and infrastructure

Especially in times of extensive renovations and construction sites like these, the importance of a well-developed transport infrastructure becomes clear. This is also shown by the standard work “Traffic in Numbers” from the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, which provides the latest data on mobility and traffic in Germany. BMV states that this compendium has been recognized for over 50 years and contains important key figures on traffic volume, infrastructure and accidents.

Authorities and traffic planners deal intensively with such information in order to be able to meet the challenges of the traffic situation in the long term. Including the current construction sites, Germans' mobility behavior will continue to change in the coming years.

In order to travel safely during these traffic restrictions, it is advisable to follow the latest reports and possibly choose alternative routes. Because a clear head and planning are the key to reaching your goal without stress.
