In order to minimise the restrictions for local residents, the work will be carried out in several sections.
The first section will begin on Monday, 22 January 2024 in the area of house number 75a. The carriageway will be closed over a length of approx. 50 metres for a period of approx. four weeks. The lane closure will change sides of the road twice during construction. One lane of Voßwinkeler Straße will be open to traffic for the entire duration of the project. Traffic will be regulated by temporary traffic lights. The construction phase will begin with a closure of the northern lane (travelling in the direction of Wickede). In the course of the project, the surfaces of the individual construction sections will initially be provisionally restored. The final resurfacing will then take place once the pipe and civil engineering work has been completed. Thyssengas will keep the public informed about the subsequent construction phases.
The planning and realisation of the measures will be carried out in close coordination with the representatives of the town of Arnsberg, the municipality of Wickede 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.
