Cabinations on A45 and A46: Construction site chaos on the Hagen cross!

drivers who are often on the A45 and A46 motorways must adapt to considerable traffic restrictions in the coming weeks. From October 10th, the connection from the A45 towards Dortmund to the A46 towards Hagen will be closed for a period of about one month. This measure was announced by Autobahn Westfalen to carry out extensive construction work.

The background of this block is the planned expansion of the A45 between the Westhofen and Hagen cross, which aims at a six -lane expansion. In the course of this work, extensive examinations of the building fund are required, which leads to the temporary traffic restrictions. During the closure, traffic flows are redirected via the Hagen-Hohenlimburg junction of the A46.

Details about the closures

Even before the main barrier, there will be further restrictions on the evening of October 9th. Several diversions are set up between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. to enable preparatory work. These detours concern the following routes:

• The A46 in the direction of Iserlohn on the A45 towards Dortmund
• The A45 in the direction of Dortmund on the A46 towards Hagen
• The A46 in the direction of Hagen on the A45 towards Lüdenscheid

The authorities advise all road users to caution and recommend planning alternative routes to avoid traffic jams. These construction measures are part of a larger project to improve the transport infrastructure in the region, which should not only increase capacity, but also want to improve security on the motorways.

In the past, it had already led to serious accidents on construction site areas in the area, as recently on the A2, in which the rescue workers had to intervene with hydraulic equipment. Therefore, it is all the more important to exercise increased attention during the construction period and to stick to the signposted diversions in order to ensure the safety of all road users.

For more information about the current traffic conditions and diversions, it would be advisable to consult the official messages from Westphalia's Autobahn to keep an eye on the latest developments. These temporary restrictions could also have an impact on the daily commuter flows and require a quick adaptation to the new traffic conditions.
