Mülheim Traffic Snarls Deepen With Concurrent Works at Central Junctions

City officials say the right-turn signal at the Saarn junction will be removed on Friday following days of mounting driver frustration.

Overview

  • A newly reported construction site at the Tourainer Ring is forcing traffic to back up along Essener Straße and Dickswall, reaching the Abzweigung der Gracht.
  • In Saarn, a long queue on Kölner Straße from the Mendener Brücke is tied to works at the Straßburger Allee junction.
  • Additional disruptions persist at Dickswall and Friedrichstraße in the city center, compounding delays across key routes.
  • Residents have flooded local outlets with complaints, criticizing coordination and citing safety concerns after an ambulance struggled through the Dickswall bottleneck.
  • Authorities confirmed a change at the Saarn junction on Friday, removing the right-turn signal, but no broader timeline to ease the congestion has been reported.
