Overview

  • The A59 will close for structural reinforcement in two 14-day phases—direction Duisburg from July 29, 8 p.m. to August 12, 5 a.m., then direction Dinslaken from August 12, 8 p.m. to August 26, 5 a.m.
  • The A52 between Essen-Rüttenscheid and Essen-Ost is set for a full closure to install noise-reducing whisper asphalt, first in one direction from July 29, 9 p.m. to August 4, 5 a.m., then the opposite from August 5 to August 11.
  • The A7’s Tunnel Schnelsen will shut on the weekends of August 9/10 and 16/17 for IT hardware replacement and safety drills, with traffic routed via the A1, A21 and B205.
  • Truck flows are throttled at Austria’s Kufstein-Nord with block controls limiting 250–300 heavy vehicles per hour and the Dutch A12 will close on three consecutive weekends from August 15 to September 1, each causing up to 60 minutes of extra travel time under signed detours.
  • With all German states on break and about 1,200 active construction sites, ACE and ADAC predict one of the worst jam periods ever and urge motorists to travel off-peak, work from home or strictly follow official detours.
