Traffic chaos in Cologne: A1 closure on June 15 triggers the risk of traffic jams!

The anticipation for a relaxed weekend could soon come to an abrupt end for some A1 road users around Cologne. How News.de reports, an important traffic blocking is imminent, which affects the highway between June 15, 9 p.m. and June 16, 5 a.m. The section of the A1 on the Cologne-West Cross is affected, in particular the transition to the A4 towards Heerlen/Aachen. The reason for this measure is urgent bridge work that is necessary to ensure traffic safety in the long term.

In this period, increased traffic loads and potentially strong traffic jams can be expected. Drivers should therefore plan their routes in good time and, if necessary, consider alternative routes.

construction sites and diversions

In addition to the blocking on the A1, other sections of the highway will also be affected by construction sites. According to Verkehrsinformation.de on June 15th between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. there will be a further full closure of the A1 A1 motorway, between the Lüxem rest area and the Wittlich-Mitte exit. For everyone who is traveling by car, there are already recommended diversions. If you drive from Cologne to Koblenz, you should switch via the Wittlich motorway junction via the A60 towards Liège, while those should use the Hasborn exit towards Trier and then take the U71.

The preliminary warnings are clear: If you are traveling on the streets in and around Cologne next weekend, you should be well prepared to avoid fast -paced surprises.
