Ruhrtal pipeline project: Transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out work on the final surface restoration in Voßwinkeler Straße and Arnsberger Straße in Wickede and Arnsberg - full closure from 14 April 2025

From Monday, 14 April 2025, the transmission system operator Thyssengas will be carrying out work on the final restoration of the road surface in the area of Voßwinkeler Straße and Arnsberger Straße in Arnsberg and Wickede. The work will result in a full closure of the road starting before the entrance to Voßwinkel (coming from Wickede) up to the Lendringer Straße junction. In total, the section extends over a length of approx. two kilometres. The work will take around two weeks and will be completed by the end of the Easter holidays. A diversion will be set up and signposted.

Residents will be able to reach their homes for the entire duration of the work. The road will also be clear for emergency vehicles, the fire brigade and the police. The planning and implementation of the measure is being carried out in close consultation with representatives of the town of Arnsberg, the municipality of Wickede and Straßen.NRW. Thyssengas asks for your understanding for the resulting inconvenience. The measure described is related to the Ruhr Valley pipeline project.

About the Ruhr Valley pipeline project

Due to increased capacity requirements, Thyssengas GmbH has been expanding its gas transport system in the Wickede / Arnsberg / Meschede region - the so-called Ruhr Valley pipeline - since 2018. The existing pipeline system is being modernised in several construction phases, increasing transport capacity in the process. The Ruhrtal pipeline will supply the downstream networks of the local municipal utilities as well as numerous large consumers such as industrial companies and power plants with gas. The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2026.
