A39 new building: Dispute over gap between Lüneburg and Wolfsburg broke out!

Wolfsburg. The Autobahn 39, which is supposed to run between Lüneburg and Wolfsburg, is again the focus of the discussion! Savings constraints in the federal budget and the impending from the traffic light government bring the new building that has been controversial for years into the spotlight. While the supporters from the region are pushing for a quick building, critics are relying on a fresh start with the next government.

The Braunschweig industrial and commercial chambers and Lüneburg-Wolfsburg vehemently demand the gap closure that would close the largest motorway-free space in Germany. "The highway creates a direct north-south connection that works far beyond the region," they emphasize. An improved connection to the port of Hamburg could revolutionize the trade in Northern European markets and have numerous industrial areas bloom!

Investments between 1.5 and 2 billion euros

The planned section of the A39 is around 106 kilometers long and is intended to offer commuters a long-awaited connection. The cost of building is 1.5 to 2 billion euros! Federal Transport Minister Volker Wissing emphasized the high priority of the project, and the Bundestag has classified the four -lane new building as a "urgent need".

BUND RESORE ABOUT

But not everyone is thrilled! The BUND Lower Saxony tirelessly fights the expansion and warns of the devastating consequences for nature and the environment. "The project urgently belongs to the test," demands a spokeswoman. The environmental organization already complained to the blueprints in 2018 and the legal disputes are ongoing. The next government could be crucial - will it drive or stop the gaps?
