Traffic chaos in Wesseling: A555 severely restricted until June 2025!
As is well known, traffic in and around Cologne never stops - but now things are getting particularly bumpy due to various construction sites on the A555. Loud news.de The work has been in full swing since April 11, 2025 and is expected to last until June 13, 2025. The construction sites extend over a length of several kilometers between the Wesseling and Cologne-Rodenkirchen junctions and lead to increased traffic and potential for traffic jams. Road users are asked to adjust their speed and pay greater attention to traffic control systems.
The first major construction site is located between the Wesseling junction (5) and the Cologne-Godorf junction (4) and only allows a maximum speed of 80 km/h. A passage width of 7.50 m is ensured here. A second construction site between Wesseling and Cologne-Rodenkirchen (3) has the same speed limits and dimensions. This work is also planned until June 13, 2025.
Current restrictions
However, there is another specific construction site in effect for today, June 5, 2025: a section of the A555 between Cologne-Rodenkirchen and Cologne-Godorf will be closed from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. This could lead to unpleasant delays for many commuters and drivers. If you're in a hurry, it's better to look for alternative routes!
- Baustellen-Details:
- Baustelle 1: A555, AS Wesseling (5) – AS Köln-Godorf (4) – Zeitraum: 11.04.2025 bis 13.06.2025
- Baustelle 2: A555, AS Wesseling (5) – AS Köln-Rodenkirchen (3) – Zeitraum: 11.04.2025 bis 13.06.2025
- Baustelle 3: A555, AS Köln-Rodenkirchen (3) – AS Köln-Godorf (4) – Zeitraum: 5.06.2025 von 09:00 bis 15:00 Uhr
The entire measure will extend until February 28, 2026, with noise insulation work also planned at the construction sites. For many residents, this will result in a certain reduction in the quality of life.
Road safety and mobility
As part of the measures, the NRW state government is also pursuing “Vision Zero”, which aims to no longer have any deaths or serious injuries in road traffic. Transport policy aims to sustainably increase road safety, which is supported by the promotion of footpaths and cycle paths as well as attractive alternatives in local public transport. Environment.nrw emphasizes that local experts should provide significant support in this regard.
In the coming months, all road users will have to adapt to new plans. Therefore, a good hand in dealing with the construction sites and a certain amount of patience are required. And maybe a walk or bike ride instead of driving will bring one or two positive things. With this in mind: stay safe and relaxed on the road!
