Vacation season kicks off with a road lockdown on Federal Road, starting from Monday.
News Article: Summer Holidays to See Full Closure of B192 Between Neubrandenburg and Penzlin
The B192 between Neubrandenburg and Penzlin will undergo a significant transformation this summer, as the road undergoes renovation and construction work to improve the route. The closure period, scheduled during the summer holidays, will last for several weeks, with exact dates varying each year and announced through local traffic announcements and official websites.
The closure is necessary to repair and replace the road surface, as well as to renew two large culverts on the approximately four-kilometer section of the federal road. The work is being carried out by the Neustrelitz Road Construction Office, with funding from the federal government.
For commuters and travellers, this means a detour will be in place. A signed detour route will direct traffic via alternative regional roads around the closed section, with possible routes including nearby towns such as Altentreptow or local state roads and highways providing an alternative path between Neubrandenburg and Penzlin. It is recommended to follow the posted detour signs carefully, expect possible delays due to increased traffic on the detour routes, and plan your journey in advance to accommodate the detour.
The construction project aims to maintain the infrastructure and was deliberately scheduled for the start of the holidays to minimize school traffic and commuter traffic. However, public transport will be affected, with traffic disruptions expected.
The total cost of the project is approximately 1.2 million euros, with the work being carried out by Strabag AG from Neubrandenburg. The full closure will result in two detours: one northwest via Klein Plasten, Stavenhagen, Neubrandenburg, and the other southeast via Peckatel, Blumenholz, Neubrandenburg.
During the construction, the shoulders will have to be built, the road marked, and protective elements installed. The asphalt paving is weather-dependent and may result in adjustments to the closure dates. Residents will be informed by the construction company about the accessibility of their properties by post.
For the most accurate and up-to-date schedule and detour details, please consult the official website of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern road authority (Landesstraßenbauamt) or local traffic information services. Further construction work will be necessary on the route, which can be carried out under half-width closure and with traffic light regulation until the end of September.
To ensure a smoother travel experience during the holidays, consider altering your home-and-garden plans or lifestyle to coincide with the road closure on the B192 between Neubrandenburg and Penzlin. This year's closure period, announced by local traffic announcements and official websites, will provide an opportunity for you to explore various travel destinations that are not on the traditional B192 route, such as Altentreptow or other nearby towns.
