Stau-chaos on the A42: test for patience for drivers in the Ruhr area!

Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland - In the Ruhr area there is chaos! Attention drivers: On the A42 between Herne and Gelsenkirchen-Schalke there is a risk of massive traffic chaos. The Westphalia motorway has announced that the construction site markings are being renewed in this section. This means that from Monday to Wednesday, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., only one lane is available in both directions. Patience is required because traffic jams are inevitable!

The construction work on the A42 is only part of the many construction sites that paralyze traffic in the Ruhr area in autumn 2024. One construction site is chasing the next and the nerves of drivers are put to the test. If you are traveling during this time, you should adjust to delays and, if necessary, consider alternative routes.
