Ruhr Valley pipeline project: Transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out pipeline construction work in the street "Im Winkel" in Wickede - road closure required

From Monday, 04.03.2024, the transmission system operator Thyssengas will be carrying out pipeline construction work in the street "Im Winkel" in Wickede. The work, which is part of the "Ruhrtalleitung" pipeline project, will result in a full road closure at house number 22.

In total, the work and the associated full closure of the road will take around four weeks and, according to current planning, should be completed at the beginning of April. Traffic will be diverted via the "Am Obergraben" road.

The planning and implementation of the measures will be carried out in close consultation with representatives of the municipality of Wickede. 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.
