Full closure of the K 27: Derirance and construction work from March 24, 2025!

Full closure of the K 27: Derirance and construction work from March 24, 2025!

On Monday, March 24, 2025, the full closure of the K 11 and K 11 district road, which is also known as a former L 405, begins between Kriegsfeld and Nieder-Wiesen. The blocking is expected to continue by the end of May 2025. These measures were initiated by the state -owned Mobility (LBM) Worms company and aims to renew the roadway in order to improve both traffic safety and driving quality. The total costs for the project amount to around 905,000 euros, which is a significant investment in order to optimize the infrastructure in the region. The measures mentioned are necessary due to the construction requirements and for security reasons.

The detour for traffic is carried out via the K 11, L 407 and the L 406 to Oberwiesen. From there, the traffic can continue to be directed to Kriegsfeld via the L 399. Corresponding signs are attached to present the diversion to all road users clearly and clearly. The entire section, which is renovated, measures 3,850 meters.

additional construction work

Another project affects Kreisstraße 27 (K 27) in Grefrath, which will also be under full closure from February 24, 2025. This construction measure, which is to take around four weeks, includes the renovation of the last old section of the walking and cycle path in the area of ​​Mülhausen over a length of around 700 meters. During this time, a spacious diversion will be required for through traffic. The diversion route will use the K 11 and leads across different streets in Kempen.

The separate detour for pedestrians and cyclists begins on the K 27 near Grefrath-Mülhausen and leads back to K 27 via the Niederfeld street. This construction measure is implemented by the company A. Frauenrath GmbH from Heinsberg. There are total costs of around 230,000 euros. Dirk Schlottmann from the Viersen district is available for clarification of further details on 02162 39-1285.

The future of road construction

In addition to the ongoing construction projects, road construction is strongly transformed by digital technologies. According to a study by McKinsey & Company and Oxford Global Projects, the use of these technologies could reduce construction costs by 30 % and significantly shorten the construction period. At the moment it takes an average of 5.5 years from the decision to the completion of a street. Digital procedures could only fall to only one month, while the construction phase could potentially reduce from one year to two months.

Modern methods such as laser scanning and the creation of digital twins enable more precise planning and increase the efficiency in construction. Sensors could also improve communication between streets and vehicles, which could optimize traffic flow and reduce traffic jams. Innovative materials such as plastic pellets in the asphalt could make road construction more robust and at the same time help recycle plastic waste.

Overall, the cities and municipalities are faced with the challenge of modernizing old infrastructures and at the same time implementing new technologies in order to meet the growing demands of road traffic.
