Ruhrtal pipeline project: Transmission system operator Thyssengas is carrying out pipeline construction work and final surface restoration work in Casparistraße in Arnsberg-Rumbeck - full closure from 25 March 2025

The transmission system operator Thyssengas is currently carrying out pipeline construction work on Casparistraße in Arnsberg-Rumbeck. From Tuesday, 25 March 2025, the existing construction section, which begins approx. 100 metres south-east of the branching Damberg road, will be extended to the Casparistraße / Mescheder Straße junction. In the course of this work, it will be necessary to close the road completely in this section. Once the pipe and civil engineering work has been completed, work will begin on the final surface restoration. To this end, the full road closure will be extended to the car park in Casparistraße from around the end of April. A corresponding diversion route will be set up and signposted. In total, the work will take around six weeks and, according to current planning, will be completed at the beginning of May 2025.

The diversion route runs between Mescheder Straße and the Uentrop roundabout. Mescheder Straße will remain open to traffic coming from the direction of Oeventrop. The planning and realisation of the measure is being carried out in close coordination with representatives of the town of Arnsberg 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.
