Gas pipe burst in Cologne-Kalk: road closed and chaos threatens!
On July 18, 2025, an unpleasant event was reported in Cologne-Kalk. At around 3:30 p.m. there was an incident of damage to a low-pressure gas pipe at house number 40 on Kalk-Mülheimer Straße. What exactly caused the damage remains unclear at the moment. Rheinnetz technicians are already working on site to carry out the necessary repairs as quickly as possible.
The impact on traffic is noticeable. Kalk-Mülheimer Straße is closed in one direction, so driving is only possible as a one-way street in the direction of North/Deutz. A full closure is currently not planned, but the duration of the traffic restriction is currently uncertain. Once the repair work has been completed, the affected section of road will be repaired by Rheinnetz technicians to ensure the safety of the roadway. Provides further information on construction sites and traffic disruptions in the city DAY24, who always provide information about current situations.
Additional construction sites in Cologne-Kalk
Lime is not only affected by this gas pipeline situation, but also by numerous other construction sites. Renovation work is currently taking place on a combined sewer in Ulrichgasse, which will last until September 29, 2023. These will be carried out using a trenchless construction method so that through traffic can be maintained in one lane. Cyclists are also guided safely through targeted lane deviations. Furthermore, an open construction method was also agreed on Remscheider Straße, where a section of the canal at numbers 47 and 107 is being replaced. This work is planned from September 18th to October 16th, 2023.
The city of Cologne, in coordination with the Office for Traffic Management, has ensured that residents can retain access to their homes throughout the entire construction period and that access for fire departments and rescue vehicles is also guaranteed. Those affected can obtain comprehensive information about the measures via STEB Cologne query.
The numerous construction sites and the multitude of traffic restrictions, like those of DAY24 reported make it clear: Intensive work is being done in Cologne to maintain and improve the infrastructure. However, road users will have to prepare for some diversions and delays, which will require both patience and an alternative timetable. The city of Cologne will do everything in its power to keep the inconvenience as low as possible and, in particular, to respond to the needs of local residents.
