Germany
The text reports significant traffic congestion in Germany in 2025, deterioration of road infrastructure, and funding allocated for bridge repairs.
In 2025, Germany experienced significant traffic congestion with 866,000 km of traffic jams, corroborated by multiple sources. Insufficient evidence specifically corroborates the 478,000 hours claim. The claim about the deterioration of road infrastructure is supported by reports of aging and overloaded autobahn bridges. The €4.26 billion allocation for bridge restoration lacks direct evidence, but broader infrastructure funding is noted. Germany is addressing the infrastructure challenges through various acts aimed at modernization.
