Ruhrtal pipeline project: Transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out pipeline construction work in Casparistraße in Uentrop (Arnsberg) - full road closure from 22 January 2025

From Wednesday, 22 January 2025, the transmission system operator Thyssengas will continue its work on Casparistraße in Uentrop. This will require a full road closure. The full closure will begin in the Dorfstraße area, extend over a length of approx. 150 metres and end at the end of Uentrop (in the direction of Arnsberg). A diversion will be set up and signposted. Residents will be able to reach their homes for the entire duration of the roadworks. Bus traffic can pass the roadworks. A replacement bus stop in the direction of Oeventrop will be set up in the area of the roundabout at the Arnsberg-Ost motorway exit. The bus stop in the direction of Arnsberg will remain open. The Dorfstraße will remain open to traffic for the entire duration of the works. In total, the work will take around six weeks and should be completed at the beginning of March according to current planning.

The planning and implementation of the measures will be carried out in close coordination with representatives of the city of Arnsberg 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.
