Locking on A59 near Cologne: Stammfahr until July 2025!
The traffic situation in Cologne is currently anything but relaxed. Due to extensive closures on the A59 motorway, commuters and travelers have to prepare for considerable traffic restrictions by July 15, 2025. The construction work that started on May 16, 2025 concern the roadway renewal between the Köln-Wahn (35) and Cologne-Lind (36) junctions. These measures are considered necessary to improve the state of the important traffic artery, such as [news.de] (https://www.news.de/auto/858677212/verkehrsplandt-nw-koeln-zur-verkehr-wegen-berrung-von-16-05- 2025-to-15-07-2025-besworts-in-traffic northern-Westphalia-Track-in-Porz-A59-frankfurter-Strasse/1/) reported.
It becomes particularly critical for drivers on the Cologne-Porz route, since here the Frankfurter Straße is affected, which is also closed due to the continuing construction work. Previous experiences show that the volume of traffic in these sections will increase significantly and that traffic jams could be the rule. According to the stemelder-karte.de, traffic jams have already formed, including between Cologne-Heumar and Cologne-Wahn with a loss of 10 minutes and a length of around 6.7 km. There are also disturbances between Cologne-Rath and Cologne-Heumar that have a traffic jam with a time loss of 4 minutes and 1.2 km.
Current traffic jams and traffic disruptions
The current situation is not only tense for drivers in Cologne. In various sections of the A59 motorway, as in the area between Bonn-Vilich and Sankt Augustin-West, traffic jams have been reported that extend the travel length by more than 3 minutes. This information is continuously updated by the Autobahn awarding centers, which monitor the traffic situation through a specialized dashboard, such as autobahn.de. Here road users have the opportunity to view the current traffic situation and to adapt to possible delays.
In addition to the traffic jams already mentioned, there are also sections blocked in other areas of the A59, among other things in the early stages between the Cologne-Lind and Spich junctions and blocked ramps that further affect the flow of traffic. Particular caution should also be taken on Frankfurter Straße, where a construction site is currently reducing the lanes.a challenge for drivers
The coming weeks will undoubtedly become a challenge for commuters and drivers in the region. Patience and alternative routes are announced to escape frequent traffic jams and possible waiting times. It is to be hoped that the construction work will be completed as soon as possible to relax the traffic situation and restore a liquid traffic flow. The responsible authorities ask the drivers for understanding and ask everyone to pursue the information regularly to avoid surprises.
In such a restless period, it means: to be well prepared, makes a lot easier. Stay informed and drive safely!
