Duisburg drivers, brace yourselves for more road chaos! following the anticipated reopening of the A40 Rhine bridge in Duisburg early Monday morning, a new highway closure is set to occur on the A59. This time, the disruption will take place in the city's northern part, between Duisburg-Marxloh and Duisburg-Fahrn.
The cause? Worn-out roadway crossings on a bridge that need an overhaul. Unfortunately, drivers heading towards Dinslaken will face a one-week closure starting Monday at 10 a.m., with another planned week-long interruption from November 20 to 27. Detours have been well-marked, so follow those signs to bypass the affected stretch.
Interestingly, the A40 Neuenkamp bridge over the Rhine is slated to open at 5 a.m. on Monday morning, following a ten-day full closure. Once open, traffic will flow seamlessly over a new bridge, as the aging bridge will be shuttered and eventually demolished. To accommodate heavy-duty vehicles from the past, weight restrictions and weighing equipment checks contributed to repeated bottlenecks on the old bridge, adding to the region's transportation headaches.
Regrettably, even with the A40 Neuenkamp bridge's anticipated reopening, the A59 renovations mean another week of inconvenience for southbound drivers on A59. Expect delays, route adjustments, and potential construction-induced traffic congestion.
