The Schwerin Roads Office is one of three roads offices in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is responsible for 660 kilometres of federal and 981 kilometres of state roads in the rural district authorities of Nordwestmecklenburg and Ludwigslust-Parchim. Moreover, this is where all the state's major projects are designed and implemented, including the federal road B321 joining Schwerin to the A14 motorway, the new viaduct in Wismar and Wolgast bypass.
A total of 280 employees work for the Schwerin Roads Office. To this can be added the apprentices training to become road maintenance operatives. The Roads Office has seven roads depots, which are responsible for the maintenance and repair of federal and state roads. They also assume the legal duty to mitigate hazards arising from an owner's property, in this case the transport infrastructure.
Each municipality is responsible for roads passing through them if they have the statutory duty to provide and maintain these roads. This applies, for example, to the federal and state roads in Landeshauptstadt Schwerin.
