Ruhr Valley pipeline project Transmission system operator Thyssengas carries out pipeline construction work in the Ringstraße in Wickede
From Wednesday, 16 October 2024, the transmission system operator Thyssengas will be carrying out pipeline construction work on Ringstraße in Wickede. The work will result in the road being closed on one side in the area of house number 23. Delivery traffic to the neighbouring companies will still be possible. In addition, the road will be fully closed in the area between house numbers 27 and 33. Access from Ringstrasse/Erlenstrasse will still be possible for residents. A diversion via the main road (B63) will be set up and signposted accordingly. The work will take around six weeks in total and, according to current planning, should be completed by the end of November.
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.
