The first construction phase of this measure will begin on Monday, 25.03.2024. The northern lane of Sauerlandstraße (direction Hüsten) will be closed for a length of approx. 150 metres between the railway tracks and the "Kappenohl" junction. A one-way system will be set up along the southern lane (travelling in the direction of Arnsberg). In the direction of Hüsten, the diversion will be via Kappenohl, Niedereimerstraße, Stephanusweg and Wannestraße. The emergency diversion for the A46 motorway (U46) will take place between the Hüsten and Altstadt exits via the L735 and B229.
For pedestrians, the area of Sauerlandstraße, starting at the "Dieselstraße" junction and ending at the "Kappenohl" junction, will be closed on the northbound side (direction of travel Hüsten). A diversion will be made via the footpath on the opposite side. The bus stop on this section will also be cancelled. A replacement bus stop will be set up at the pedestrian crossing on the corner of Sauerlandstraße and Dieselstraße. The neighbouring shops will remain accessible for the entire duration of the work.
In total, the work in this construction phase will take around seven weeks. Communication of the measures in the second construction phase will be the subject of a separate announcement by the company.
The planning and realisation of the measure will be carried out in close coordination with representatives of the city 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 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.
