Weekend Road Closures in Ruhr Region: A45, A43, and A42-Rheinbrücke Affected

Weekend closures announced for three major highways in North Rhine-Westphalia - Weekend closures affect three major highways in North Rhine-Westphalia

Heading out in the Ruhr region over the weekend? brace yourself for some detours as three major motorways will be closed. The Autobahn GmbH, in charge of managing highways in NRW, has announced the closure of the A45 at Schwerte, the A43 at Recklinghausen, and the A42-Rheinbrücke at Duisburg from Friday evening to Monday morning.

A45 and Schwerte

  • The A45 will experience closures in both directions at the Westhofen interchange starting at 10:00 PM on Friday.
  • The reason for this is the renewal of four bridges at the interchange, which will require regional traffic to be rerouted via other motorways in NRW.
  • From 9:00 PM, the Rheinbrücke in Duisburg-Beeckerwerth will be closed in both directions. For traffic heading towards Dortmund, detours will be at the Duisburg-Baerl exit, and for those heading towards Kamp-Lintfort, detours will be at the Duisburg-Beeck exit. The detours will use alternative routes, such as the A40, A57, and A59.

A43 and Recklinghausen

  • The A43 between the Recklinghausen interchange and Herne-Eickel will be fully closed in both directions from 9:00 PM due to the expansion of the A43 between Witten and Marl, which requires the Herne interchange (A42) to be expanded.

Watch Out for Closures in Duisburg

  • Keep an eye on the A42-Rheinbrücke in Duisburg as it will also have closures over the weekend. Be prepared for detours via the A40, A57, and A59.
  • Inspecting the bridge's cables is the main reason for these closures.

Remember, it's essential to check official Autobahn GmbH traffic information websites or NRW state traffic news portals shortly before your journey to get the latest updates on closures, detours, and expected delays. As weekend closures and detours are common in the Ruhr area and holiday periods, be sure to plan your route carefully.
