Overview

• The A40, one of the busiest highways in the Ruhr region, will be fully closed between Kreuz Kaiserberg and Kreuz Duisburg from Friday at 9 PM to Monday at 5 AM for construction work.
• The closure on the A40 is part of ongoing efforts to install a support structure for a central construction project at the Kaiserberg interchange.
• In Hamburg, the A1 will also be fully closed between Dreieck Norderelbe and the Hamburg-Billstedt exit during the same timeframe to implement a new traffic routing system on the deteriorating Norderelbbrücke.
• Drivers are advised to plan alternate routes, as both closures are expected to cause significant traffic disruptions, with recommended detours via the A7 and other regional routes.
• These closures are part of broader infrastructure upgrades aimed at addressing aging highway systems and improving future traffic flow in highly congested areas.
