A40 closure in Dortmund: Ikea exit remains tight for six weeks!

Dortmund, Deutschland - A nightmare for drivers! The A40 exit Dortmund-Kley, which leads to the popular Ikea furnishing house, remains closed until December 5. This message causes excitement among the customers who want to travel from Bochum. The Westfalen motorway confirmed the block on November 7th and explained that the construction work has been delayed. If you are planning to shop at Ikea now, you have to adjust to a long detour!

The blocking is the result of urgently needed renovation work on the A40 bridge over Borussiastraße. This work began on September 29 and turned out to be more complicated than originally thought. The Westphalia motorway has discovered water in the bridge construction, which makes the situation even more precarious. Customers who want to go to the IKEA or Indu Park must continue to the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit and then redirect via Brennaborstrasse to the industrial area in Dortmund-Kley.

traffic chaos for Ikea visitors!

The consequences of this block are enormous! Up to 1,700 companies in North Rhine-Westphalia have already complained about the full closure at Bochum. The detour is expected to last six weeks and ensures additional stress in the already tense flow flow. So if you are planning a visit to IKEA, you should prepare for a lot of patience and a longer journey!
