Construction site alarm on the A44: Danger of traffic jams in Soest from this evening!
From today, June 23, 2025, the traffic situation in North Rhine-Westphalia will be temporarily affected by extensive construction sites on the A44. [news.de reports that …](https://www.news.de/auto/858716470/verkehrsmelde-nw-soest-soest-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-baustelle-von-23 -06-2025-to-24-06-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-north-rhine-westphalia-danger of traffic jams-in-ostoennen-ruploh-on-a44/1/) The work will begin at 7 p.m. and will continue until 1 a.m. tomorrow. Drivers should prepare for increased traffic volumes and possible traffic jams.
The first construction site is on the route between the Werl-Süd exit and Ostönnergrund in the direction of Kassel. From 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. the left lane will be closed due to guardrail replacement and the road will be narrowed to one lane. Another construction site on the A44, between Soest and the Soester Börde service area, will also affect the traffic situation from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Here too, the left lane will be closed in order to replace the guardrails.
Additional construction sites in the region
But that's not all: A look at the current construction sites shows that the A44 is not the only busy motorway that is affected by obstructions. verkehrslage.de has recorded further construction sites that will last until next year. In the Essen area there are restrictions between Ratingen-Schwarzbach and the Düsseldorf-Nord junction until March 7, 2026. Traffic disruptions can also be expected in Aachen until the end of September.
While the renovation work on the A44 is causing temporary disruptions, ADAC Maps provides real-time information about traffic. Drivers can find out about the current traffic flow, planned construction sites and the route taken. A useful tool to be prepared for unpleasant surprises while traveling.
What needs to be taken into account?
It is advisable to always check the latest traffic information before traveling to the region. Whether it's construction sites, the risk of slipping due to weather conditions or the possibility of speed controls - such information can make the difference between a smooth journey and a tough traffic jam. There may be delays in the coming days, particularly in the Soest region and on the A44, so planning is key.
Current route information and warnings about dangerous situations are provided via various platforms. A little patience is required, because what was once in a traffic jam cannot always flow straight away. Keeping the current traffic under control will also be a challenge during construction work.
