Current information - second construction phase
In the current construction phase (before the "Kappenohl" junction until shortly before federal road 229), the access roads to the Arnsberg Altstadt junction will be closed from Monday, 17 June 2024 until mid-August 2024. Two diversions (U44 and U57) will be set up and signposted accordingly. Drivers can reach the motorway via the nearest entrances and exits Hüsten and Arnsberg-Ost.
Third and final construction phase begins on Monday, 24/06/2024
Work on the third and final construction phase of the overall project will start on Monday, 24 June 2024. This begins behind the "Kappenohl" junction and extends over a length of approx. 150 metres to Hüstener Straße 50. With the start of the third construction phase, the exits of the Altstadt junction will also be closed for approx. two weeks. In total, the work will take around nine weeks and should be completed by mid-August according to the current planning status. The diversion options described above will also apply here.
One lane in each direction (Hüsten and Arnsberg) will be maintained for the entire duration of the work so that traffic can pass the construction site. The surrounding roads "Kappenohl" and "Zur Schefferei" are passable. In the area of Hüstener Straße, pedestrians will be guided across the motorway police area.
Advance notice
Following the pipeline construction work by Thyssengas GmbH, the city of Arnsberg and Straßen.NRW will renew the road surface between the Sauerlandstraße level crossing and the Aral petrol station on Hüstener Straße from 16 to 20 August 2024 with a full road closure. The town of Arnsberg and Straßen.NRW will provide separate information on this.
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.
