Overview

• Autobahn GmbH Rheinland will fully close the A40 between Kreuz Duisburg and the Duisburg-Kaiserberg junction from Friday, Oct. 17, 21:00 to Monday, Oct. 20, 05:00 in both directions.
• During the works, the ramp from the A40 toward Essen to the A3 toward Arnhem is shut because it runs directly beside the structure being removed.
• Connections from the A3 in both directions to the A40 toward Venlo are also closed while scaffolding on a new A3 bridge is dismantled.
• Signposted detours are in place, and drivers should expect delays through this key North Rhine-Westphalia traffic node.
• The operation is part of the ongoing reconstruction of Kreuz Kaiserberg, with some connections closed until mid‑2027 or end‑2028, and a separate 10‑day A3 closure announced for Nov. 7–17.
