Traffic chaos threatens: A555 in Wesseling closed from September 19th!
Drivers in North Rhine-Westphalia will face a challenge in the coming days. From September 19, 2025, the A555 will be temporarily closed between the Wesseling junction (5) and the Cologne-Godorf junction (4) in the direction of Bonn to Cologne. This measure, which begins at 10:00 p.m. and lasts until 5:00 a.m. on September 20, 2025, will result in significant traffic disruptions in the region. Those responsible recommend that drivers adjust their speed and follow the instructions on the traffic control systems in order to get through the situation safely.

The A555 in Wesseling is currently being declared a major construction site and the work has a clear time frame. A renovation has been in progress since April 4, 2022, which is expected to extend until the end of 2025. The approximately four kilometer section between Brühler Straße and the Wesseling junction will be redesigned to reduce noise pollution for residents. The aim is to take measures such as renewing the roadway with low-noise whisper asphalt, building noise barriers and replacing the bridges on Mühlenweg and Kronenweg. This information comes from an article by 24rhein.
Expansion of transport infrastructure
Looking to the future, North Rhine-Westphalia is investing around 600 million euros this year in the renovation and expansion of the transport infrastructure. The programs are diverse: from the state road maintenance program to cycle path programs to local mobility projects. As land.nrw highlights, 231 million euros alone flow into the maintenance of state roads and 154 million euros for federal roads, with the exact amount dependent on the approval of the federal budget depends. This not only ensures improved safety, but could also ensure smoother traffic flow in and around the Cologne region.
But every coin has two sides. The planned construction work will inevitably lead to traffic jams and disruptions. Traffic on the A555 is expected to increase and more precise closures and restrictions remain unclear for now. However, the renovation promises a noticeable improvement in the quality of life for residents, as noise pollution will be significantly reduced through low-noise asphalt and the construction of noise barriers.
Conclusion: While we look forward to developments in transport infrastructure, it remains to be seen how the measures will play out in practice. Drivers should be prepared and plan their journeys around the construction sites in order to get to their destination with as little stress as possible.
