Traffic chaos around Kassel: Construction work on the A7 start on Friday!

The Autobahn GmbH warns of considerable traffic disruptions around Kassel. From Friday evening, May 9, 2025, at 6 p.m., comprehensive construction work on the A7 at the Kassel-Ost junction begins. These measures are necessary to repair road damage and to ensure the safety of road users.

The work includes the blocking of the ride-on and departure in Kassel-Ost. These closures apply until Monday, May 12th, at 5 a.m. In addition, the junction will be closed again on a second weekend, from May 16 to 19. In the first phase of the construction work, a concrete protection wall over a length of around 380 meters is broken down. The subsequent weekend will be all about assembly of new protection planks.

diversions and other closures

Derinations are set up for the travel directions concerned. Drivers who want to use the Kassel-Ost junction are led to the highway via the Kassel-Nord (U3) junction. The exit then takes place via the Kassel-Mitte (U1) motorway junction. Autobahn GmbH asks the road users for understanding and increased attention on the diversion routes.

There is a possibility that the closures will be extended from May 23 to 26 if the work cannot be completed in time. It is therefore advisable to find out about the current traffic situation before starting the trip.

traffic controls and security

In Hesse, checks on the A7 and A4 motorways took place in Hesse, in which 26 trucks were checked. Of these meadows, 19 complaints, one of the vehicles - a saddle trailer - even had to be scrapped. These measures serve on the streets and are intended to ensure that only traffic -safe vehicles are on the road.

For current information on the traffic situation and the existing construction sites, an interactive dashboard is available. This is provided by the motorway traffic centers and offers a comprehensive overview of the traffic situation, including traffic jams and responsible construction sites. Such systems enable continuous monitoring of the traffic situation and quick reactions to unpredictable disorders. Further information on the traffic situation can be called up at the autobahn.de
