Hanover (dpa / lni) - Commuters and vacationers will be pleased: The large construction site on the A7 between the Hanover North triangle and the Allertal rest area is history.
"That was always a sticking point in recent years, there were a lot of traffic jams and accidents," said a spokeswoman for the ADAC.
Due to the renewal of the lane from spring 2018, the 18-kilometer stretch could only be used alternately in one direction with two lanes.
The construction site was already the frontrunner in traffic jams in Lower Saxony during the summer holidays.
There were delays, especially because of the truck traffic - alternative routes were only possible via the surrounding villages.
“This is the most important north-south route and an average of 90,000 vehicles pass through it every day, 14,300 of which are trucks,” she added.
The Verden road construction authority is also breathing a sigh of relief: "The relief about the new infrastructure is great, it was a major construction project with over 100 million euros in federal funds," said a spokesman.
The approval went a little faster than planned, on Thursday morning free travel was announced.

At the start of the winter holidays in Lower Saxony, drivers must now expect fewer disabilities, even if there is still a construction site between Bispingen and Soltau Ost until the end of January.
There will be hardly any travelers this year, especially on the way to the coasts and Denmark, due to the corona restrictions, and family visits are expected to be much fewer.
“The Friday before Christmas and December 27th were always popular travel days.
We assume that vacation traffic will be restricted this year, ”said the ADAC spokeswoman.
