Question Road works in Northern Germany? Where?

Looks like I may well be riding from Rotterdam to Rostock in a few weeks.
However, I will be doing so against the clock!

So, are there any major road works on the Munster - Hannover - Hamburg - Rostock motorway route, that I should know about?

Thanks in advance.

How good is your German?
If not maybe you can still muddle through with the following two web sites -
Stau, Baustellen, Blitzer, Verkehr, Webcams, Radarfallen, Routenplaner
Stau, Staumeldungen, Staus, Staumeldung

If you have a problem let me know.

Regrettably, "Bitte" & "Danke" represent a mere 60% of my German...

There's nothing worthwhile on that route at the moment that looks like it's a long term roadworks to hold you up. But in a few weeks......?
One thing, why via Hannover?
Isn't via Bremen quicker?

Great! Thanks for the interpretation.

As for Bremen...er, yes it is. I just wasn't concentrating when looking at Google Maps!

You should know one thing about road works in Germany: they tend to dig bigass holes into perfectly fine roads around early December in order to use up their yearly budget, otherwise they might end up getting less money next year. Thus, prepare to see construction sites with one or two people standing around, not doing much work. Then again these pseudo road works mostly occur in cities, and seldom on major but rather secondary or tertiary roads.
