Comment on the transport infrastructure: | Through the motorway routes Oldenburg-Wilhelmshaven and Oldenburg-Leer (A 28 and A 29), the municipality of Wiefelstede has gained significance over and beyond its own location over the past few years. The two commercial estates Leuchtenburg and Westerholtsfelde are situated in the immediate vicinity of the two motorway routes. Alongside that, there has been a positive business development in the main towns of the municipality, namely Wiefelstede and Metjendorf, as well. Local public transport is also becoming increasingly important. |
