B169 Full closure: Construction work by October - Deportions for Cottbus!

Drebkau, Deutschland - The B169 between Cottbus and Senftenberg, an important traffic route for commuters and delivery services, has been quiet since July 22, 2025 for comprehensive construction work. As rbb24 reports an approximately six kilometer section between the junction and deleting and Domsdorf. The construction work aims to renew the lane ceiling, which has been affected by wear in the past two decades. The federal government is investing around 1.92 million euros to make the road fit for another 15 to 20 years.

additional construction sites and preliminary warnings

Within Drebkaus itself there is currently a full closure, which, however, does not affect the B169 diversion route. In the near future, the L52 in Drebkau in Drebkau will also be affected between July 24th and September 5th, but the detours for the B169 will remain unaffected. Verkehrslage.de also reports of other construction sites on the B169, for example in Gröditz, where both directions are blocked until August 1st.

The context of these construction sites is part of a larger trend in German road construction, where according to Statista focus is on the expansion of the federal highways and roads. In 2023, over 13 billion euros were invested in road construction, even if there have been declines in the income in recent years. The investments, which are to increase to almost 9.8 billion euros by 2028, show that construction work such as those on the B169 in Brandenburg are not only necessary, but are also part of a wider national strategy.

The individual measures, such as the renewal of the road surface on the B169, are often also a reaction to the changing transport requirements and the steady increase in traffic figures. Therefore, this work is not only important for the immediate safety and comfort of the drivers, but also crucial for the long -term transport infrastructure in the region.

For the residents and commuters, it is now a matter of being patient and adapting to the diversions in good time. The coming months will show how well the renovation work is accepted by the population and whether the promised improvement in traffic flow actually occurs.
