A24 to Shut for Six Weeks as A44 Plans Weeklong Closures in North Rhine–Westphalia

The closures will strain corridors already carrying displaced BerlinHamburg rail passengers.

Overview

  • Autobahn GmbH will fully close about 10 kilometers of the A24 toward Hamburg from 25 September to 8 November to add an asphalt wearing course over failing concrete.
  • Officials cite alkali–silica reaction as the cause of rapid pavement decay, with spalling and fragment loss creating safety risks.
  • During the A24 works, Hamburg‑bound vehicles will be routed as a single lane onto the opposite carriageway along the BerlinHamburg direction.
  • On the A44 between Meerbusch and Düsseldorf, traffic toward Mönchengladbach will be stopped from 22 September 22:00 to 29 September 05:00, with long‑distance detours via the A44, A3, A46 and A57 and phased closures at the Lank‑Latum ramp.
  • A second A44 shutdown runs 21–28 October in the Velbert direction from Kreuz Meerbusch, with diversions via the A57, A46 and A3 and works covering bridge surfaces and two tunnels.
