Strict Enforcement of Lockdown Order on K42 Road Stretch, From Bechtheim to Osthofen.
In October 2025, County Road 42 between Bechtheim and Osthofen will undergo a significant renovation. The Regional Mobility Authority (RMA) Worms has announced a two-week closure of this stretch of road for roadwork aimed at renewing the pavement.
The Closure and its Duration
The closure is scheduled to start in early to mid-October 2025 and is expected to last for approximately two weeks. This full closure is necessary for technical reasons and the safety of construction workers. The project's contract sum is approximately 220,000 euros.
The Affected Area and the Work
The work will take place on County Road 42 between Bechtheim and Osthofen. The old asphalt on a stretch of approximately 900 meters will be removed and replaced with a new surface. The purpose of the work is to improve traffic safety and the quality of the road.
Alternative Route via L409 and L439
During the closure, traffic on County Road 42 between Bechtheim and Osthofen will be detoured. The detour will use state roads L409 and L439, in both directions.
For drivers heading from Bechtheim towards Osthofen, the recommended detour is as follows:
- Instead of taking County Road 42 directly, traffic can be diverted from Bechtheim onto state road L409 heading west or northwest.
- Then, from L409, traffic should connect to state road L439 which leads southeast toward Osthofen.
- This alternative route bypasses the closed section of County Road 42 and reconnects with the road near Osthofen.
For drivers heading from Osthofen towards Bechtheim, the recommended detour is as follows:
- Drivers should take L439 northwest out of Osthofen.
- Then switch onto L409 heading east or southeast toward Bechtheim.
- This forms a loop around the closed section of County Road 42.
While this detour may add a few extra kilometers and some travel time, it provides a clear and safer path during the construction period.
Traffic Updates and Advisories
For the exact routing and traffic sign information, it is advisable to check local traffic advisories or county transportation updates closer to the time of the roadwork in October 2025.
This much-needed renovation is expected to significantly improve the condition of County Road 42 between Bechtheim and Osthofen, ensuring a smoother and safer journey for all road users in the future.
While the general-news of October 2025 includes a significant renovation on County Road 42 between Bechtheim and Osthofen, weather conditions during this period might also impact the work. Drivers are advised to check the local weather reports to ensure a smooth journey, as poor weather could affect the roadwork and alter the detour route via L409 and L439.
