On Thursday, 22 May 2025, there will be a visible open flame and increased noise emissions near Mehrstraße (section between the Müssenweg junction and Schweizer Straße) in Voerde. In addition, on Thursday, 5 June 2025 and Tuesday, 10 June 2025, there will be a visible open flame and increased noise on Sternweg (near Baumschulenweg) in Hünxe.

The planning and implementation of the measure will be carried out in close consultation with representatives of the town of Voerde and the municipality of Hünxe. The local authorities and neighbouring residents were informed about the project in advance.
