Large sea lock in Emden: detours for drivers from Wednesday!

From Wednesday it will be uncomfortable for drivers and residents in Emden! The crossing over the inland head of the large sea lock is closed to all road users. This measure comes into force on December 4 at 7 a.m. and lasts until December 13th at 5 p.m. The port authority of the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport has made this drastic decision to carry out urgently needed work.

The diversions are clear, but not without challenges! Drivers have to prepare for alternative routes. Narvikstraße can only be reached via Willi-Zander-Straße, the road to the pilot house and the outside or across the street to Südkai. Shipping, the port industry and the residents are asked to adapt to the changed conditions and to adapt their timetables accordingly.

important information for those affected

The blocking not only affects road traffic, but also has an impact on local shipping. The port authority asks everyone involved for understanding and patience during this time. The work is necessary to ensure the safety and efficiency of the sea lock. Hold on for the diversions - Emden will be a challenge for all road users in the coming days!
