Large stem risk on the A4: construction sites by 2029! This is how you stay mobile!

Köln, Deutschland - in Cologne and the surrounding area it says "Attention construction site!". From June 10, 2025, at 3 p.m. at noon, the A4 and the surrounding streets will be underneath and over and over again by June 16, 2029. These extensive construction work bring considerable restrictions, especially in traffic. ” [news.de] (https://www.news.de/auto/858677089/verkehrsplandt-nw-koeln-zur-verkehrs-wegen-baust-von-10-06 -2025-bis-16-06-2029 Restry-in-traffic northern-Westphalia-Trale-in-Porz-Kalk-Rodenkirchen-A4/1/) reports that the motorway sections near Cologne in particular are affected.

The construction sites between the Cologne-Süd motorway junction and the Rodenkirchen bridge towards Aachen and Heerlen are currently most affected. Here, drivers can expect a maximum passage width of 10.50 m between June 10 and 26. But there are also closer conditions between the AK Köln-Süd and the Rodenkirchen bridge between June 26 and July 3 if the passage width is even reduced to 6.25 m. Again and again trips have to be planned or even shifted, because the risk of dams is enormous over the entire construction period. ” Verkehrslage.de

traffic forecasts and congestion developments

The immediate vicinity of the construction sites, such as Porz, Kalk and Rodenkirchen, will suffer particularly from the increased traffic. In the meantime, the density of the road network in North Rhine-Westphalia results in numerous traffic jams. Within the past few months, the total length of the traffic jams on the highways has increased by a whopping 26 percent. For many road users, the way to work becomes a test of patience. The dam also increased by 20 percent and is now over 15,500 hours. ADAC experts demand more coordination in the construction site measures to distribute the loads more evenly. ” wdr.de

Another highlight in the planning and approval process, which is to be accelerated according to ADAC. Whether bridge work or protection plannings, road users have to adapt to numerous construction sites until 2034. For example at the Talbrücke Wiehl, where until December 1, 2034 can only be driven to a limited extent or at the Molbach valley bridge, where the road is also narrowed on a lane. ” Verkehrslage.de

driving experts urgently advise to consider alternative routes or to adapt the travel times accordingly. In the past few months, it has also been shown that many construction sites lead to an impressive increase in traffic jam length. "The density of the highways here in North Rhine-Westphalia is unique, which also means that the stresses through construction sites have a particularly strong effect on the flow of traffic," explains a spokesman for the WDR traffic studio. According to estimates, the traffic jams traditionally increase in summer, as many people travel and the construction sites inhibit the flow of traffic through their orders. Another challenge is to work the necessary work until winter when frost and snow make building difficult. " wdr.de

With a variety of upcoming construction sites and the associated challenges, traffic in Cologne and the surrounding area will certainly be exciting over the next few years - or also stressful. Drivers should always stay up to date and prepare for the upcoming changes!
