The sixth construction phase starts at the beginning of the Ruhr Valley cycle path in the direction of Uentrop, where the pipeline will be laid from here onwards. The cycle path will therefore be closed over a length of approx. 250 metres for the duration of the project, which will last approx. six weeks. In addition, the southern carriageway (in the direction of Uentrop) will also be closed for the duration of the work in order to provide a replacement cycle path. Traffic can continue to flow in one lane and will be regulated by a temporary traffic light system. At the end of the construction phase, the surface of the cycle path will be provisionally restored.
The other sections will continue along Casparistraße in the direction of Uentrop and will end in the local area there. The final restoration of the surface will take place after completion of the pipe and civil engineering work. Thyssengas will keep the public informed about the subsequent construction phases.
The planning and realisation of the measures will be carried out in close coordination with the representatives of the town of Arnsberg, 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.
