Transmission system operator Thyssengas carries out pipeline construction work on Spellener Straße in Voerde - progress of construction work and changes to traffic routing

Since the end of February, pipeline network operator Thyssengas has been carrying out pipeline construction work in the area of Spellener Straße and Alte Mittelstraße in Voerde. The background to the work is the "ABS 46/2" project, the Emmerich-Oberhausen expansion project of Deutsche Bahn (DB). As a result of the expansion project, Thyssengas GmbH is relocating a section of pipeline. Due to the current construction progress, changes are now being made to the current traffic routing.

Full closure of Spellener Straße from 29.07. - 04.08.2024

From Monday, 29 July 2024, Spellener Straße will be fully closed under the railway overpass between house number 92 and the "Am Industriepark" junction for one week. The reason for the full closure is the progress of the construction work. In the final stage of work, the natural gas pipeline, which was relocated due to the DB project "ABS 46/2", is now being integrated.

Diversion set up

Motor vehicle traffic will be diverted via Frankfurter Straße - Emmelsumer Straße - Willy-Brandt-Straße/Hindenburgstraße (and vice versa). Cyclists and pedestrians will be diverted via Werkstraße - Schmaler Weg - Poststraße - Frankfurter Straße (and vice versa).

For HGVs over 3.5 tonnes, Spellener Straße will remain closed even after the full closure (from 5 August 2024) until probably the end of August 2024 and HGVs will be routed via the aforementioned diversion route.

Partial closure following the full closure - Deutsche Bahn construction project

Following the full closure, a half-side road closure will be set up again on the section of Spellener Straße described above. The half-side closure is necessary due to construction work on the new bridge. Part of the ground has to be excavated. This is a prerequisite for completing the bridge. Sheet piling will be used for this work. It will be necessary to close one side of the road at a time. The closures will be necessary until the end of the year. Only one lane of the road will be open for the duration of the construction work.
