Traffic disruption: Part of Rostock's road network undergoing reconstruction - Renovation work on a section of Rostock's transportation infrastructure has led to a temporary lockdown.
Rostock to Experience Major Traffic Disruptions Due to L22 Am Strande Road Closure
The central traffic axis L22 Am Strande in the Hanseatic city of Rostock will undergo an eight-day full closure from August 11 to August 19, 2025, as part of essential construction work. The road rehabilitation will affect traffic on L22 Am Strande between Grubenstraße and Wokrenterstraße.
Impact on Traffic and Public Transportation
During the road closure, the section from Wokrenterstraße to Grubenstraße on Am Strande will be completely closed to all vehicles, including cars, buses, and heavy trucks. Tram services on the L22 line will be disrupted due to the full renewal of the tram rails, a critical maintenance activity that has not been performed in more than 38 years. Bus services and other public transport operating along this corridor will likely be rerouted or suspended. Passengers are advised to check RSAG Rostock’s updates for specific timetable changes and alternative arrangements.
Drivers must follow posted detours and signage, as no through traffic will be possible on the affected segment. The city administration has set up a detour system for the duration of the construction.
Alternative Routes During Construction
Although explicit detailed detour routes are not listed, motorists must use marked alternative routes around the closure to continue their journeys during this period. The RSAG website and local information sources provide ongoing updates on changes and suggested detours for both private vehicles and public transport passengers.
For precise planning, it is recommended to consult the RSAG official traffic information website during the closure period for the latest on route diversions and adjusted public transport schedules.
Renovation Work
During the road closure, the roadway on this section will be milled and receive a new asphalt surface. The road rehabilitation on L22 Am Strande will also see the renewal of the binder and surface layers. Additionally, the city of Rostock will lay pipes as part of the renovation work.
The Rostock tramway AG plans to renovate the track system on Am Strande/Warnowstraße during this period. The road rehabilitation on L22 Am Strande is scheduled to last eight days and is intended to address the worn-out condition of the road.
The four-lane road in Rostock, passing by the city harbor, is used by approximately 44,000 vehicles daily.
