NRW Motorways: A1 Exit Near Hamm Closes for Weeks, A42 Bottrop‑Süd Off‑Ramp Shut on Sunday

Autobahn officials say the timing of the works is intended to limit disruption.

Overview

  • The A1 exit at Hamm‑Bockum/Werne toward Bremen is closed from October 6 to November 3 to replace aging shoulder concrete with asphalt.
  • Access onto the A1 toward Bremen remains open, with a signed detour via the previous junction Hamm/Bergkamen using route U79 for drivers who would have exited.
  • The A42 off‑ramp Bottrop‑Süd/Essen‑Borbeck toward Dortmund will be closed from Saturday, October 11 at 23:59 until Sunday, October 12 at 22:00 for carriageway repairs.
  • Because the A42 between Bottrop‑Süd and Essen‑Nord is off‑limits to vehicles over 3.5 tonnes due to a weak canal bridge, heavy trucks must leave no later than Oberhausen‑Neue Mitte, with preferred routing via the A516 to the A2.
  • Fresh lane markings at the Bottrop‑Süd junction are scheduled for Monday, October 13 from 9 a.m., which may briefly restrict traffic at the interchange.
