Liège Strasse remains closed due to trees at risk of falling!

in Aachen, Liège Strasse (B264) will probably be closed until Monday, January 13, 2025. The background to the measure is the risk of the overthrow of other trees after an incident in which a tree had fallen on a moving car. Fortunately, there were no injuries.

The blocking affects the section between the Brussels Ring and Reimser Straße. According to the police, the traffic was made possible for a short time, but the situation remains life -threatening because there is the possibility that further trees could overturn. Another tree had fallen on the B264 on the morning of January 10th, which led to the immediate closure.

The necessary trees to remove the trees at risk of falling are used for several days, depending on the weather conditions. In addition, it is pointed out that frost could lead to branches in the coming nights. In several reports it was emphasized that there is an acute danger to life in the blocked area, especially since some road users tried to remove the barriers, which further endangered the situation.

The Kornelimünsterweg between Lintertweg and Hasenfeld is also closed due to falling branches and falling trees, which also makes the passage towards Linterstraße impossible.
