Ruhr Valley pipeline project: Transmission system operator Thyssengas carries out pipeline construction work in Voßwinkeler/Arnsberger Straße in Wickede - third construction phase begins

From Monday, 18 March 2024, the transmission system operator will continue the construction work on Voßwinkeler Straße and Arnsberger Straße, which began and was communicated back in January. The third construction phase begins. The traffic routing will already be in place on Friday, 15 March 2024.

The third construction section extends over a length of approx. 300 metres and means that the southern lane (in the direction of Wickede) will be closed for the duration of the project, which will last approx. four weeks. The construction section ties in with the end of the previous section (start of Arnsberger Straße). Traffic can continue to flow along the construction site and will be regulated by a temporary traffic light system.

The planning and realisation of the measures will be carried out in close coordination with the representatives of the municipality of Wickede, 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 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.
