Navigating A20 Closures: A Guide for Motorists Heading to Lübeck
Roadway A20 inbound to Lübeck blocked for construction activities. - Road closure on A20 towards Lübeck due to construction activities
Want to know the quickest ways to get around the A20 closures in the direction of Lübeck this Tuesday and Wednesday? Here's everything you need to know!
On Tuesday and Wednesday, you'll have to take detours between the interchanges of Neubrandenburg and Strasburg due to construction site setup. In the direction of Lübeck, the Autobahn will be closed from 9:00 AM as announced by the Federal Highway Authority until 9:00 PM. Expect the opposite direction towards Stettin to be affected the next day.
Don't fret; here are some alternatives for you:
- B104 and B96:
- From Neubrandenburg, head east via B104 toward Pasewalk.
- If A20 is congested or closed between Pasewalk-Nord and Strasburg, continue on B104 to Löcknitz. From there, either continue on B104 into Poland (for some destinations, but not directly toward Lübeck) or turn south toward Strasburg via local roads (via K1131/K1132 and then south toward Strasburg). Using B96 south toward Prenzlau, then west via A11 might be a longer detour, but it can help you avoid active construction areas.
- Regional Roads within Germany:
- From Neubrandenburg, take B104 to Pasewalk, then continue on B104 or local roads (e.g., K1131/K1132) towards Strasburg, possibly using L26 or similar roads. Be sure to check for closures on local roads such as L1034 and L1182.
- After Strasburg, you can rejoin A20 to continue toward Lübeck if the closure is only between Pasewalk-Nord and Strasburg.
- A11 and A24 (Longer Detour):
- From Neubrandenburg, head south on A20 toward the A11 junction near Prenzlau.
- At A11 junction, take A11 toward Berlin, then use A24 for Hamburg/Lübeck.
- This route is significantly longer but avoids all construction on A20 between Pasewalk-Nord and Strasburg.
Remember, the goal is to choose the option that best suits your journey, all while avoiding congestion caused by construction. Make use of real-time traffic apps like ViaMichelin or official German traffic information sources for up-to-date detours and closures. Signage and digital boards will also provide guidance during active roadworks, so pay heed to them when traveling.
Happy travels! And may your journey be smooth and congestion-free!
