The fourth construction section extends over a length of approx. 250 metres and means that the southern lane (in the direction of Wickede) will be closed for the duration of the measure, which will last approx. six weeks. The construction section ties in with the end of the previous section (start of Arnsberger Straße). Traffic can continue to flow along the construction site and will be regulated by a temporary traffic light system.
The planning and realisation of the measures will be carried out in close coordination with the representatives of the municipality of Wickede, the responsible authorities 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.
