Weekend Road Closures on Three Motorways in the Ruhr Area
Weekend closures on three motorways in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) - Roadways in North Rhine-Westphalia Shut Down Over the Weekend
Hey there, folks!
Got some news for all the motorists out there planning a trip through the Ruhr area this weekend. The Autobahn GmbH has announced closures on three major motorways starting from Friday evening and lasting through the weekend. Specifically, the A45 at Schwerte, the A43 at Recklinghausen, and the A42-Rheinbrücke at Duisburg will be affected. These roads will be out of commission in both directions, with the closures scheduled to be lifted before the morning rush hour on Monday (5:00 AM).
Now, let's break down what this means for you:
- The A45, located at Westhofen interchange, will be off-limits in both directions due to the renovation of four bridges at the interchange. To accommodate interregional traffic during this closure, the powers that be will reroute it via the motorways within North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW).
- The Rheinbrücke in Duisburg-Beeckerwerth will be shuttered in both directions from 9:00 PM. Motorists bound for Dortmund will be diverted at the Duisburg-Baerl exit, while those heading towards Kamp-Lintfort will be shifted towards the Duisburg-Beeck exit. The detour will take traffic through the A40, A57, and A59 during the closures. It appears that inspections of the cables on the bridge will be taking place during this time.
- The expansion of the A43 between Witten and Marl requires the Herne interchange (A42) to be expanded. This means the A43 between the Recklinghausen interchange and Herne-Eickel will be fully closed in both directions starting from 9:00 PM.
While we couldn't uncover specific details about ongoing roadworks on the A45, A43, and A42-Rheinbrücke, it's best to check the latest traffic updates to ensure you're up-to-speed on all the happenings in the area. You can find the most accurate and timely information on the North Rhine-Westphalia transport ministry's website or through apps like ADAC or Google Maps.
I hope this helps you avoid any unwanted detours and makes your travels through the Ruhr area a breeze! Safe travels!
