Full closure of the A40 and A52: Massive detours in the Ruhr area threaten!

Full closure of the A40 and A52: Massive detours in the Ruhr area threaten!

In the Ruhr area, there are considerable construction work in mid -October, which will strongly influence the traffic flows on the A40 and A52 motorways. From October 17th to October 24, 2024, the two highways will be completely closed in one direction, which means significant redirecting for drivers and commuters.

These full closures affect the sections between Essen and Gelsenkirchen in particular. As a result, all junctions on the A40 between Essen-Zentrum and Gelsenkirchen-Süd, as well as the A52 between Essen-Berghausen and the Essen-Ost motorway triangle are not navigable. The reasons for these comprehensive measures lie in the renovation of the lane ceiling, whereby "whisper asphalt" is used on 95,000 square meters, which is specially designed for low -noise traffic.

Details on the closures and diversions

  • blocking A40: between Essen-Zentrum-West and Gelsenkirchen-Süd in the direction of Dortmund.
  • blocking A52: between Essen-Berghausen and the Essen-Ost motorway triangle in the direction of Dortmund.
  • period of the blocking: October 17 (0 a.m.) until October 24 (11:30 p.m.) 2024.
  • intended use: installation of whisper asphalt for noise reduction.
  • The information provided is without guarantee that short -term changes are possible, explained those responsible for Autobahn GmbH.

The detour for the A40 takes place from the Kaiserberg motorway junction via the A3 towards Oberhausen. For light vehicles below 3.5 tons, a detour via the A42 in the direction of Dortmund to the Herne motorway junction is planned. Heavy vehicles above this weight have to choose a different route via the A2 in the direction of Dortmund and further via the A45.

Of course, the A52 is also affected, where detours are already set up from Essen-Süd, which lead to the A40 via local roads. The diversions can ensure traffic jams and longer travel times.

shifts in planning possible

Another point that could complicate the Situation are the weather -dependent work, which Autobahn GmbH describes as "weather -sensitive". If the weather conditions are unfavorable, the closures could be moved backwards. The planning stipulates that further work on the A40 will begin in spring 2025, which will also lead to full closures.

With these comprehensive measures, Autobahn GmbH not only responds to the current wear of the streets, but also tries to reduce noise pollution for residents. For detailed information on the current and future motorway closures in North Rhine-Westphalia, www.24rhein.de Regular updates.
