Traffic chaos before Cologne: A4 due to construction site between Merheim and Refrath!
Today it will be busier than usual on the A4 near Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia. The reason: A construction site starts at 9 p.m. and lasts until 5 a.m. tomorrow morning. How news.de reported, it is road construction work in which the left two lanes will be closed. In addition, the roadway will be narrowed to just one lane, which could lead to traffic congestion.
The section affected by the construction site is between the Cologne-Merheim exit (17) and the Refrath exit (18) in the direction of Olpe. Drivers should prepare for possible disruptions and consider alternative routes if necessary to avoid delays.
Current traffic situation on the A4
But that's not the only concern on the A4. According to the latest reports from stau.info There are currently several traffic jams and dangerous situations. A 1 kilometer long backlog is reported between Cologne-Klettenberg and Cologne-Eifeltor on the route towards Aachen. There is also an unsecured accident site near Cologne-Klettenberg, which further aggravates the situation.
Overall, there is a lot of activity on the motorway: traffic jams are reported again and again, sometimes due to broken down vehicles, sometimes due to dangerous situations such as aquaplaning or objects lying around. Drivers should therefore be particularly careful and pay attention to traffic control systems that provide information in real time, for example via ADAC Maps. Not only current construction sites are displayed here, but also possible dangerous situations along the route are listed.
