Construction site chaos on the A2: Completion in a long way!

The construction work on Autobahn 2 With Allering's life lasts longer than originally planned. According to MDR , the completion of the road is now intended for the end of April 2025 after the original date for the end of December 2024 was set. The reason for this delay are poor asphalt work, since the asphalt covering does not correspond to the quality standards in front of and behind the motorway bridges. This must be removed and applied again.

The asphalt has been renewed over a length of around 10.5 kilometers towards Hanover for about three quarters. The work also includes a total of nine buildings as well as the necessary signage and markings. Autobahn 2 is exposed to a high traffic load of around 80,000 vehicles per day and the affected motorway buildings are already 26 years old.
