Traffic chaos in front of Cologne: A4 because of the construction site between Merheim and Refrath!

Köln-Merheim, Deutschland - Today it becomes fuller on the A4 near Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia. The reason: from 9:00 p.m. a construction site starts that will last until tomorrow morning, 5:00 a.m. How News.de reports, these are road construction work in which the left are blocked two lanes. In addition, the road is narrowed to only one strip, which could lead to a staggering flow of traffic.

The section between the Cologne-Merheim (17) exit and the Refrath (18) exit is affected by the construction site. Drivers should adapt to possible disabilities and, if necessary, consider alternative routes 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 km long backlog is reported on the route towards Aachen between Cologne-Klettenberg and Cologne-Eifeltor. There is also an unsecured scene of the accident at Cologne-Klettenberg, which further tightens the situation.

Overall, there is a lot of hustle and bustle on the highway: traffic jams are repeatedly reported, sometimes by vehicles that have been left behind, sometimes through dangerous situations such as aquaplaning or objects lying around. Drivers should therefore be particularly careful and pay attention to the traffic management 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.
