The transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out pipeline construction work on Oeventroper Straße in Arnsberg – half of the road will be closed from 8 June 2026

From Monday, 8 June 2026, the transmission system operator Thyssengas will be carrying out pipeline construction work on Oeventroper Straße in Arnsberg. As part of this work, the southbound lane (towards Freienohl) will be closed over a distance of approximately 200 metres (from the ‘Raulfs Ufer’ junction to house number 14). Traffic will be able to continue flowing past the construction site and will be regulated by a mobile traffic light system. In addition, the street ‘Raulfs Ufer’ will be inaccessible from the direction of Oeventroper Straße for the duration of the works; however, access from ‘Raulfs Ufer’ onto Oeventroper Straße will remain possible. The junction of Oeventroper Straße, Kirchstraße and Zur Hünenburg will also remain open to traffic at all times. The works are expected to last approximately six weeks and, according to the current schedule, will be completed by mid-July 2026.

The pipe-laying works on Oeventroper Straße will be carried out in several phases and are expected to continue until summer 2026. Once the pipe-laying works have been completed, the road surface will be fully restored. Details of each phase, as well as the final road resurfacing, will be announced in separate press releases.

The planning and implementation of the project are being carried out in close consultation with representatives of the City of Arnsberg. The project described is part of the Ruhrtal pipeline construction project.

About the Ruhrtalleitung project
Due to increased capacity requirements, Thyssengas GmbH has been expanding its gas transmission system in the Wickede / Arnsberg / Meschede region – the so-called Ruhrtalleitung – since 2018. The existing pipeline system is being renewed in several construction phases, thereby increasing transport capacity. The Ruhrtalleitung supplies gas to the downstream networks of local municipal utilities as well as numerous large-scale customers such as industrial plants and power stations. Completion of the entire project is scheduled for 2027.
