Overview
- The A1 between Vechta and Cloppenburg is fully closed in both directions from Friday evening until Monday at 05:00 for the demolition of four overpass bridges along a roughly 7‑kilometer stretch, with the Cappeln Hagelage rest area shut in both directions.
- Near Emmerich, the A3 is closed in both directions from Friday 20:00 to Monday 05:00 for bridge demolition and placement work, with traffic diverted widely via the A42 and A57 as part of a program replacing five spans through January 2027.
- At the Offenbacher Kreuz, the A3 toward the south is shut from Saturday 17:00 to Sunday 17:00 to lift a second temporary bridge for the A661 crossing, with additional ramp closures to facilitate asphalt works for the new traffic layout.
- Autobahn GmbH reports round‑the‑clock operations involving more than 60 staff and 16 excavators, the removal of about 6,500 tonnes of concrete by roughly 270 truckloads, protective sand beds under spans, and on‑site material sorting for recycling.
- Following the A1 demolition weekend, three lanes per direction are scheduled to reopen with speed limits of 100/120 km/h, with another full closure expected in spring 2026 to install new bridge sections.
