Parallelisation of the Rurtal pipeline: Thyssengas carries out pipeline construction work in the Düren city area - work begins on the next construction phase in Mariaweilerstraße and Dr.-Overhues-Allee

Due to the planned lignite phase-out in the Düren / Aachen region, Thyssengas GmbH will increase the capacity of its existing pipeline in the Rur valley in order to further support the supply of the industries in Niederau, Kreuzau and Untermaubach. The planned route of the new gas pipeline is based on the route of the existing Rurtal pipeline. Thyssengas will now continue the pipeline construction work in the next construction phase from Monday, 15 January 2024.

Traffic restrictions in Mariaweilerstrasse

From Monday, 15 January 2024, construction work will resume on Mariaweilerstraße. There will be a full road closure in the area of the entrance to the "Papiermühle" road up to the car park of 1. FC Düren. In addition, the right-hand lane (in the direction of Düren) of Mariaweilerstraße will be closed on the section starting at the car park of 1. FC Düren and ending at house number 64. A diversion will be set up and signposted accordingly. The work will take around six weeks and, according to current planning, will be completed at the beginning of March.

Traffic restrictions in the Dr.-Overhues-Allee

Construction work on Dr.-Overhues-Allee will resume from Tuesday, 16 January 2024. This partial construction section covers a total length of approx. 600 metres. The pavement will be fully closed in two sections of 300 metres each. Pedestrians can continue to use the pavement on the opposite side. In addition, individual parking bays will be removed on this section as construction progresses. The area of the closed parking bays will be marked, all other parking bays can be used as usual. The measure will not result in any road closures. Vehicles will be able to pass through for the entire duration of the work. According to current planning, the work will be completed by mid-March.

Surface restoration

Following the respective construction phases, the surface will initially be provisionally restored. As the final stage of the overall measure, the surface will then be finally restored along the entire 2.3 kilometre length in summer 2024. This construction measure and the associated impact on road traffic will be communicated separately by Thyssengas GmbH in advance.

The planning and implementation of the measures will be carried out in close coordination with representatives of the city of Düren and the public order office in Düren. Thyssengas GmbH will communicate the construction phases following the measure in good time in further press releases. Thyssengas asks for your understanding for the resulting inconvenience.
