Traffic jam chaos in Kiel: construction sites and accidents slow down traffic!
Severe traffic disruptions in and around Kiel: Today, June 20, 2025, the streets and highways in this country are anything but relaxed. Traffic is not only burdened by numerous construction sites, but also by accidents. Motorways such as the A7, A20, A21 and the federal highways B76 and B77 are particularly affected kn online reported.
The hotspots include the Theodor-Heuss-Ring in Kiel, which has proven to be a bottleneck, particularly in rush hour traffic. Traffic is also often backed up in Rendsburg, especially in front of the Channel Tunnel and on the B77 and A210. In addition, the A7 is prone to traffic jams in the area of the Rader Hochbrücke. Accident hotspots in the city of Kiel are concentrated around the Waldwiesenkreuz, Kaistraße with Stresemannplatz, as well as the Oring and the West ring. The Bordesholmer triangle on the A215/A7 is also quite accident-prone.
Construction sites and traffic regulations
As the city of Kiel announced on its website, the Alte Lübecker Chaussee is currently being extensively renovated by Deutsche Bahn. Only one lane of traffic and reciprocal control via a traffic light system are available. Trucks have to pay attention to the clearance height of 3.60 meters. Digital height controls and light barriers are installed to stop vehicles above this height in a timely manner and to enable turning maneuvers.
Not only do these measures cause delays in traffic flow, but they can also create additional congestion if other vehicles block the path. kiel.de emphasizes that the police and the traffic authorities are automatically informed about the activation of the height control.
