Traffic - Construction of the Autobahn 20 will take until the mid-30s

The extension of the A20 highway from Schleswig-Holstein to Lower Saxony will currently take more than ten years. "We are talking about completion of the A20 to Lower Saxony probably in the mid-30s," Stefan Haß, Northern Division Manager of the federal and state project company (Deges), told the German Press Agency. If things go well, it will be a little earlier.

For more than ten years, the coastal highway coming from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has ended east of Bad Segeberg. So far, the A20 has meandered 39 kilometers through Schleswig-Holstein. In 2013, the Federal Administrative Court halted further construction. The judges in Leipzig felt that bat protection had not been sufficiently taken into account. According to Deges, there is no enforceable building law for any of the six sections up to the Elbe.

The proposed further construction of the A20 highway will take it into the heart of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, connecting with the highway in Bad Segeberg. The construction of the Autobahn 20 through Lower Saxony is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion in the region, as reported by the German Press Agency. After the halt in construction in 2013 due to bat protection concerns, the completion of the A20 highway in Schleswig-Holstein is still awaited, with no enforceable building law in place for any of the six sections.
