Nocturnal closures on the Cologne-West cross: Traffic becomes a nightmare!

Nocturnal closures on the Cologne-West cross: Traffic becomes a nightmare!

In the Cologne-West motorway junction, road users are facing night closures from June 15th to June 18th. As t-online , the connection from the A1 (direction of Dortmund) to the A4 (towards Aachen) is completely closed from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. These measures are extremely necessary because test work on the buildings must be carried out in the cross.

These nightly closures are not an isolated case. Maintenance work in the Cologne-Lövenich tunnel is often also required, which leads to further restrictions in traffic. Such a full closure of the A1 between the Cologne-West motorway junction and the Köln-Bocklemünd junction has been announced for the night of February 12, such as Rundschau Online explained. That night, also from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. in the direction of Koblenz, no driveway will be possible in the junctions.

detours and narrowing of the road

Derinations are required for these nights to maintain the flow of traffic. Affected road users should be redirected via the Cologne-Lövenich junction. In addition, lane narrowing on the A1 and A4 can be expected in the area of ​​the cross by June 26th. These restrictions concern all directions and could cause additional congestion.

The condition of the motorway infrastructure has consequences relevant to road safety. The Autobahn GmbH emphasizes that modern traffic monitoring and the development of stable vehicle techniques are essential to ensure traffic safety. Regular tests of the street infrastructure are therefore important so that the traffic flows can be managed safely.

It is hoped that the planned measures will improve both security and the flow of traffic in this area. It is all the more important for all drivers to find out about the current traffic conditions and diversions and, if necessary, plan alternative routes.
