North Tangent in Koblenz: Full closure due to natural gas work from February 17th!

From February 17, 2025, the Nordtangente in Koblenz in the area of ​​the bridge over Rübenacher Strasse will be completely closed for a period of nine days. Traffic is not possible daily from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The blocking takes place on the basis of necessary work on a natural gas pipe, which is carried out by the energy supply Mittelrhein (EVM group) . The EVM Group has already announced that diversions are signposted during the blocking in order to keep the impairments for road users as low as possible.

The EVM group apologizes for the inconvenience and underlines the importance of this measure for reliable natural gas supply in the region. This work is part of a larger project to improve the infrastructure in Koblenz.

conversion projects along the north tangent

In addition to the current work on the natural gas pipe, the north tangent is part of a comprehensive construction project. The conversion work of the northern relief, which was initiated by the state government of Rhineland-Palatinate , include a number of measures that are intended to improve traffic in the region. The first step began with the conversion of the existing roundabout on the K 12/An der Römervilla.

The project extends from Rübenacher Straße via Stadtstraße Weinackerweg to the L 127, the Bubenheimer Weg, and ends on Stadtstraße on the Römervilla in Koblenz-Bubenheim. The planned construction work include:

• road breakthrough in Metternich
• roundabout place with an outside diameter of 50 meters
• traffic -friendly confluence of the L 127 near Bubenheim

The extensive construction work is scheduled for the autumn of next year and are intended to take up a total duration of around 2½ years, with total costs, which amount to around 8.4 million euros. The city of Koblenz is participating in the financing of around 4.1 million euros, while the state of Rhineland-Palatinate provides around 4.3 million euros.

The measures on the north tangent and the associated construction work are part of a strategic planning to improve the transport infrastructure in Koblenz, as also reports the Aktuell4u . The local authorities emphasize that the investments in the infrastructure are essential for functioning traffic management in the city.
