One lane in each direction (Hüsten and Arnsberg) will be maintained for the entire duration of the project so that traffic can pass the construction site. Access to the "Kappenohl" road will be closed for the duration of the construction phase. A corresponding diversion will be set up and signposted via the streets "Wannestraße", "Stephanusstraße" and "Niedereimerstraße". Pedestrians will not be able to use the pavement in the affected section. There will also be a diversion via the Ruhr Valley cycle path, which will be signposted. The bus stops "Arnsberg" and "Sauerlandstraße" will remain active and will continue to be served by buses. In total, the work in this construction phase will take around six weeks. Communication of the measures in the third and final construction phase will be the subject of a separate announcement by the company.
The planning and realisation of the measures 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.
