Stau-alarm 2025: These motorway construction sites provide chaos in NRW!

The motorways in North Rhine-Westphalia are also facing considerable construction sites in 2025 and associated traffic disruptions. The traffic center Leverkusen of Autobahn GmbH has created a list of ten construction sites with high storage risk that will prepare car drivers challenging driving conditions. The A1 and A3 are particularly affected, while urgently needed renovation and expansion measures have to be carried out.

The location is tightened by various short -term and long -term construction sites. The A1 at the Cologne-Niehl junction has been working on the new Rhine bridge since February 2024. Bottlenecks in the direction of Dortmund and Leverkusen are expected, since the second part of the bridge is currently under construction. Additional problems arise from numerous new bridges that were to be built on the A1 in 2025, which will also lead to traffic jams and track closures Radio Herford .

The A43 is also affected: In coordination with the A42, several days are planned for closures over the course of the year to tear down two smaller bridges between Bochum-Riemke and Herne-Eickel. However, a specific date is still pending. This comprehensive renewal of the A43 between Marl and Witten, which has been carried out for years, will continue to result in traffic disruptions.

critical bottlenecks and diversions

on the A3, which records a high traffic share, the situation is also tense. Several bridge structures, especially at the Cologne-Heumar junction and the Hilden motorway junction, are gradually being replaced. The extensive renovation of the Heumar motorway triangle, which includes the ramp from the A4, will also cause restrictions in the coming months. In addition, numerous diversions are necessary, while the bridge over the Rhein-Herne Canal for heavy trucks remains adac reports .

Additional bottlenecks are expected between junctions Lohmar and Bonn/Siegburg as well as between Lüdenscheid-Nord and Lüdenscheid in both directions. A full closure that aims at the construction of new bridges can be expected here.

Overall, it can be said that 2025 is imminent for drivers in North Rhine-Westphalia with a challenging time, with sometimes considerable traffic jams and diversions by the numerous construction sites and renovations. Autobahn GmbH and the city administrations will do everything possible in the coming months to keep the restrictions as low as possible, but road users have to adjust to longer travel times.
