Ruhr Valley pipeline project: Transmission system operator Thyssengas carries out pipeline construction work in the main road in Meschede-Freienohl

From Monday, 14 April 2025, the transmission system operator Thyssengas will be carrying out pipeline construction work on Hauptstraße (at house number 110 up to the Rümmecketal / Talweg junction) in Meschede-Freienohl. This will require a closure of the southern carriageway (direction Meschede). Traffic can continue to flow along the construction site and will be regulated by a mobile traffic light system. The Rümmecke bus stop will be relocated to the east in the direction of Meschede outside the construction area. In total, the work will take around six weeks and will be completed at the end of May according to current planning.

The planning and implementation of the measure will be carried out in close coordination with representatives of the district and university town of Meschede 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 Ruhrtal 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.
